2 Watch the video. •
Play the video.
•
If you don’t have the video, play a game so students can
practice describing pitch. Make a space in the classroom
and tell students to stand up. Explain that when they
hear a high note, they have to stretch up as high as they
can, when they hear a low note, they have to curl up
into a ball, and when they hear a middle note, they cross
their arms. If you play an instrument, play a selection of
high, low, and middle-pitched notes. If you don’t play
an instrument, sing the notes. Students do the correct
actions.
