A huge welcome to Episode 18 of the Welcome to Music podcast – Echo Songs for the Primary and Elementary School Echo songs are great for engaging children in interactive singing, helping them develop language skills, memory, and musical abilities while having fun. Incorporating echo songs into educational settings provides a multifaceted approach to learning, making it both enjoyable and effective for children. My plan over the next few podcasts is to put together ‘A Suite of Songs’ – starting with echo songs today and then extending to call and response songs, rounds, cumulative songs and partner songs just to name a few. Songs that use these various techniques provide an inclusive setting allowing kids to sing immediately (echo and call and response) and easily dive into instant harmony with rounds and partner songs.Click HERE (https://www.welcometomusicpodcast.net/blog/episode-16-blog-notes-the-dinky-di-aussie-trilogy-part-1/) to read the blog notes for this episode – this is where you will find a summary of the podcast and all linkshttps://www.welcometomusicpodcast.net/ (https://www.welcometomusicpodcast.net/)To access all the extras such as music notation, harmonies, ukulele, recorder and percussion parts, join our Welcome to Music Membership https://welcometomusic.podia.com/welcome-to-music-membership-plan (https://welcometomusic.podia.com/welcome-to-music-membership-plan)
