What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Let's play a listening game! Close your eyes and imagine a 🐦 bird singing a little tune.

  2. 2

    When you tap your fingers fast, is the beat slow or fast?

  3. 3

    Tap along with this beat — tap once for each 🧸 bear step.

  4. 4

    Listen to two sounds — which one is higher like a 🐦 bird and which is lower like a 🐻 bear?

  5. 5

    Which sound is higher — a 🐦 bird or a 🐻 bear?

  6. 6

    Listen to a short tune. Can you clap back the same rhythm? Clap once for each 🥁 drum hit.

  7. 7

    The tune goes: clap, clap, rest, clap. How many claps did you do?
