Steady Beat, like the other concepts explored in this series, is a foundational concept for all music making. It is unique, as it is often what we think of first when we think of “Kindergarten music.” Remember that exploring steady beat should be experienced based, where students work with pulse as well as the overall flow of music.

Consider ways to keep and show the steady beat in creative ways that also take into account musicality and musicianship, such as using spider fingers or other visual prompts that encourage flow through space and time.

In this episode of Teaching Music Tomorrow, Victoria shares an activity for "Dale Dale Dale" and Anne shares "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."
