- Recognized rhythm and beat through the sound of the sticks hitting each other
- Explored dynamics by hitting the sticks softly or loudly
- Created melodies by hitting the sticks in different patterns and sequences
- Explored the concept of call and response by taking turns initiating the sword fight and responding to the other's moves
- Explored the concept of improvisation by creating new moves and sounds during the sword fight
For continued development, the child can explore different types of music and instruments to further understand rhythm, dynamics, melody, call and response, and improvisation. They can also create their own music using everyday objects as instruments and experiment with different sounds and rhythms.
