  2. What we’ll cover today • Pitch matching strategies (vocalization, warmups, repertoire) • Connections to multicultural repertoire • Connections to language arts skills and literature

  3. Vocalization with movement • Names • Vocal tai chi • (slide whistles, cityscapes, pipe cleaners, yarn shapes) Strategy: become accustomed to feel and direction of pitch visually, kinesthetically and aurally

  9. Wind Prayer-Main Ideas and Key Words Oh, Great Spirit, Oh Grandfathers, How lucky can one be to know such beauty? One can search the world over And not find this much loveliness. Her heart is pure, and radiates love and warmth Oh, Mother Earth, It is from your womb that she does come. It has to be, for she reflects your beauty that I see all around me. Oh, Navajo Wind, blow softly upon this desert rose. Embrace her always with your warm gentle breezes. Fill her heart with the pride and happiness From a proud and noble people that she does come.Whisper soft reminders in her ear, "Never forget... Never forget."Oh, Father, the Navajo Sun, Shine brightly down upon her path, Allow her to see the beauty in herself as well as in others. Protect her and keep her warm. Hide her in your absence from the despares of this life. Allow her always to walk in beauty. Oh, Woman who walks in beauty like the night, I am a friend who is distant and silent. I will care for you always.

  10. Summary • *Patterning essential for students to find and match effectively – building patterns within and around • *vocal modeling- evidence suggests unaccompanied leads to stronger pitch accuracy, closest to children’s vocal tone (ie- less vibrato, falsetto, softer) • * Opportunities to sing individually with patterns – research finds there is greater accuracy than in a group (though positioning a child having trouble matching on outside edge of students who match very well helps!) • *Movement and visuals can help students: access head voice, find breath support, get rid of tension that contribute to physical reasons for not matching pitch. • *Be flexible in meeting children within their range- sometimes singers can match an interval, but not the pitch level. Gradually move the pitch level from where they match well to the level of the song. • *Using instruments to reinforce patterns can help kinesthetic learners as well.

  11. See you around the world!
