What fun we had in our 3-5 year old class yesterday trying out different patterns to tap and clap with to Miss Mary Mack! One of the basic musical concepts we teach young children is that of rhythm patterns, which are combinations of long and short sounds and silences. Children age 4 to 6 years are able to copy rhythm patterns with increasing accuracy. Also, their eye-hand coordination is developing and improving. Activities that motivate children to use and improve these two skills (copying of the patterns and using eye-hand coordination) are appropriate, fun, and beneficial for preschoolers.
