Jiggle Wiggle Freeze
Sometimes a composer writes a song because of an inspiration, a funny thing they have seen, a beautiful sunset, or a heartfelt sentiment they wish to convey. Other times, the need for a song is a practical thing. Such was the case for Jiggle Wiggle Freeze. I had a wiggly group of young students who were expected to perform at the school concert in December after being in school for only a few months. They were not really ready to sing, and they were a lively bunch. I decided to write a movement song for them. I had fun playing with words that had similar sounds, almost like a tongue twister. Students at this age also love to freeze dance, so I added that element into the song. It worked well in our December concert with its connection to the season being the “freeze” part and a small reference to winter weather. The “littles” are always a highly anticipated addition to a school concert and Jiggle Wiggle Freeze allowed them to deliver a simple song, some fun actions and do what they do best – be entertaining for family and friends.
Older students also love to move and freeze so Jiggle Wiggle Freeze has been pressed into service throughout the year with classes of various ages as they arrive in the music room. We certainly have had fun doing jiggle wiggle, wishy washy, and zigga zagga dance moves, and of course, staying very still for the “freeze” parts!
