Repetition is the best way to practice. Getting your students to read melodically by Heather Morris.
Ostinati are short, easily changed, provide instant harmony, and offer quick success in limited classroom time. This clever book combines solfege reading of rounds and folk songs with ear-pleasing ostinati. Simple lesson plans and a variety of activities from writing through movement further the process. The P/A CD provides a good vocal model, too. Gr. Pre-K - 6.
