Marching and Drumming

Micro Macro:

Start Macro beat clap – this could be a macro beat, the beat of the song that adults clap to. (Divide the beat by two) – this is the Micro beat, the beat that children are drawn to.

How do we know? Because younger children show us that faster beat in their bodies when they are involved with the music. Like this… or this…..or this. (model characteristic gestures) Until they get older this response is involuntary and often matches the micro beat. Once they start voluntarily finding the beat the will still most often find the micro beat or a steady internal beat that doesn’t match the external music. We know they are heading towards BRC when we start seeing them purposefully hitting or moving to the macro beat. So let’s notice today when we’re on the micro beat and when we’re using the bigger macro beat. The hello song is a good place to start!
