Hoffer Chapter 13
  • Movement is natural human response to music and
    children should be encourage to move to the
    musical sounds they hear
  • Motions is overt, so teachers can easily tell by
    the students actions whether they are involved
    or not
  • Helps greatly with behavioral assessments
  • Movement can be used as an assessment tool (move
    one way for fast, one for slow, etc.) Student can
    recognize opposites in music and create
    appropriately opposite movements

Moving in Structured Situations
  • Teachers should be aware of the limitation
    inherent in the physical settings and plan
    accordingly.
  • Make a room for movement . Move chairs and desk
    to the side of the room, go outdoors in the good
    weather, and use gyms, lobbies and hallways.

6
  • Explore the possibilities for movement in tight
    spaces, in chairs, and at desks.
  • While allowing the children the freedom to
    express musical ideas through movement, set
    movement rules that will organized what might
    otherwise prove chaotic to the classroom

Hoffer Chapter 13
  • Structure is the key to successful movement
    activities
  • Have strict rules (dont touch each other,
    movements must be exact) If the rule is violated,
    the student is to sit out the rest of the
    activity

  • Fingerplays are great activities for younger
    students with limited motor skills

    movements performed rhythmically to depict the
    images suggested by a song or rhyme

Creative Movement
  • Form of dance that is personal, interpretive and
    expressive
  • Can be used to socialize children, provide
    entertainment and communicate ideas and feelings
    more directly or deeply than words
  • Lacks authoritarian structure
  • There is no one right way of doing things and
    there are no specific steps to learn
  • It is inspired by verbal and musical imagery

17
Dance Concepts
  • Nonlocomotor movement- always has one part of the
    body anchored to the floor. It is performed in
    ones own space without completely transferring
    body weight.
  • Locomotor movement- involves moving around the
    wider available area, with the body not anchored
    and with complete transfer of weight

  • Listen to the entire recording when you prepare a
    dance
  • Play some of the music when introducing a dance
  • Show the movements, dont just tell them
  • Say direction words like side-back side-touch
  • Dance with your students whenever possible. Let
    them see that you enjoy dancing, too
