This week in music class, the 2nd graders began learning a song called "Turn the World Around," which they will be singing in their "Spring Sing" concert on May 20th. We had a lot of fun watching the video of Harry Belafonte singing with Ms. Ritter's favorites--The Muppets! :) We figured out that like many African songs we have learned this year, it has a Call and Response form. We also talked about how this song is not in duple or triple meter, but it is instead in a mixed meter, which gives us an uneven beat and makes the song interesting.
We hope you enjoy this video and singing along at home!
