Ama Lama {Tam Ti} Kodaly Method Folk Song File

Description

A great silly song to present and practice Tam Ti

This silly worded song (misleadingly about a llama, which it is not!) is a great way to prepare, present or practice Tam Ti. This song works great with conscientious movement to the beat, the subdivision, and the rhythm of the song.

This file includes both stick notation and regular notation with terminology for both so it will work in any classroom!

Works perfectly for:
-practice moving to subdivision
-practice rhythm – long short long short
-practice tam ti
-prepare, present and practice tam ti

Contents:
-lyrics
-beat icons
-subdivision beat (the ti-ti pulse underneath)
-presentation slides for tam ti (dotted quarter, eighth pattern)
