Rap it Up to Go
I had a grade 5 class of students who were not interested in singing. They were keen about other music class activities (rhythmic activities, handbells, and recorders) but they were not happy singers. As December concert time rolled around, it was obvious that I needed to offer them something within their comfort zone if they were going to enjoy being part of the all-school concert experience. There must be some advantage to having a composer for a music teacher. So, I created Rap it Up to Go for them and they had great fun learning the words and adding their own special flair to the presentation. I recall they dressed up in sunglasses and did their best to look very “cool” as part of the overall effect. They had fun, the audience loved it and we shared a positive music experience. Personally, I prefer the old-fashioned Christmas vibe, but I had my turn during my childhood. It is great to know that the spirit of Santa is not diminished by sharing him with younger generations in a new way.
