The songs are all in an appropriate range for children. Most use a maximum of a 6-note range with some stretching to an octave.

Music of Mexico
iamsomewhereiamsomewhere

Music of Mexico

(0)
The aim of this topic is to give children the opportunity to learn about the music of Mexico through listening and singing. The children will: Listen to a variety of music styles and genres from Mexico. Learn about the instruments used in the popular Mariachi bands. Listen to some music from the Maya Civilisation. Learn to sing the song Al Citron and play the stone passing game associated with it. This a a short topic that can be stretched to 6 weeks or done in 3, depending on the amount of time dedicated to your music lessons. It would work nicely as a cross-curricular topic if you are looking at Mexico in Geography or the Mayan Civilisation in History.
