Overview

Our 'Hello' song is a fun, inclusive way to welcome your students to their music lesson. The song is in a swing style so the quavers are swung - think “Scoo-by, doo-by” rather than equal “jog- ging, jog-ging”. The song features the ‘So-Mi’ minor 3rd interval and uses a range of a 5th ideal for young voices. The verse section introduces the concept of ‘Call and Response’ and gives each child the chance to be the caller and say their name whilst the rest of the class respond. Non verbal children can be encouraged to use actions e.g. to wave hello rather than sing hello. If any children in the class use BSL encourage them to teach their peers how to sign hello.
