Time for Music Hello Song for KS1

This is a hello or welcome song for the beginning of music class. It is aimed at students from 5-8 years old. It attempts to raise their pitch to begin the lesson and asks them to clap, stomp, sing and strike a pose or do a little dance to warm them up a little.

How I use this resource:
Once students are seated I will play the first few notes on the piano (or other instrument) and ask students to sing the notes back. Then we can start the song.
Students love to stomp and make sounds, so ensure they are doing each action 3 times and not getting carried away.
‘Do a dance’ is very quick and is only intended to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Students should be ready to continue the song after a quick move.
