Create your own Developmental Sequence of music responses.

Singing:
A) vocalizes during songs
T) vocalizes within the pitches in which you are singing
I) may imitate two pitch patterns
C) sings familiar songs
R) can utilize rhythm, pitch and tempo while singing.

Playing Instruments
A) turns head towards object(s) making sound
T)grasps instrument/ may shake/ play when music is playing ( and when it stops)
I) selects and explores instruments with intention
c) can use two handed instruments and manipulate instruments
R) can imitate rhythms and play with different tempos/ timbres

Moving:
A) moves limbs differently when listening to sedate vs upbeat music
T)moves during, or even after the music stops.
I)can move and stop with the music
C) dances to familiar songs
R) remembers action sequences

Listening:
A) Hears changes to familiar Melodie’s
T) moves body in accordance with tempo ( ie bouncing vs rocking/ sitting)
I) follows simple directives ( if you’re happy and you know it…)
C) changes action in response to music( ie jumping vs lying down and pretending to sleep)
R) can sing back ( call and respond songs)

Singing:
A) Using Pitch and vocalizing in songs
T) Matches pitch with you in parts of the song
I) Imitates patterns
C) follows and sings familiar songs
R) Can combine rhythm and tempo

Playing:
A) responds differently to different kinds of music
T) grasps/touches the instrument to maybe respond to the music
I) explores with intention
C) starts and stops with music
R) maintains the steady beat

Moving:
A) Act on instinct
T) uses repetition to move with the tempo
I) can isolate body parts to move with the music
C) dances to familiar learned movement
R) can follow a sequence

Listening:
A) Hears vocal changes to melodies
T) recognizes familiar music
I) follow the music to imitate intensity
C) stops, listens, changes
R) listens to music outside of themselves

Singing:
A- Vocalizes during songs
T- Matches pitch only some of the time during songs
I- Imitates inflection when babbling
C- Imitates the melodic shape of song
R- Maintains beat and tempo during familiar song

Playing:
I- Tries different instruments with intention
C- Stops and starts with music
R- Maintains a steady beat during song

Moving:
A- Instinctually moves rhythmically
T- Moves repetitively and rhythmically
I- Isolate various body parts to move to music
C- Imitates learned movement
R- Can sequence movements to music

Listening:
A- Recognize different voices
T- Recognizes familiar songs
I- Follow musical dynamics, tempo, and style
C- Ability to stop
R- Listens to not only their own music, but music of others

Singing: A- Vocalizing during songs, T- matches pitch at times, I- shows melodic inflection in babbling, C-begins to imitate melody shapes, R- will attend to tempo in song<br />

Playing: A- adjust playing to different music styles, T- will briefly follow tempo, I- will explore diverse array of instruments purposefully, C- will start and stop with purpose, R- maintains a steady beat<br />

Moving: A- instinctual movements are rhythmic, T- response to music is repetitive movements, I- can isolate body parts when moving, C- imitates learned movements, R- can sequence movements<br />

Listening: A- recognizes changes in timbre of voice, T- recognizes familiar melodies, I- will imitate musical intensity with movements, C- will stop to listen, R- listens to music others are creating

Singing: A) Vocalizes during songs (nonspecific); T) Matches selected pitches part of the time (about half); I) Babbles with melodic inflection; C) Follows melodic contour of familiar song; R) Uses pulse and meter within the melodic contour

Playing: A) Alters movements in response to instrument sounds; Orients body posture to instrument sounds; T) Reaches out to touch instruments; Explores instruments with hands and or mouth; I) Purposely explores a variety of instruments; C) Starts/stops instrument play with the music; R) Maintains a steady beat

Moving: A) Makes repetitive, rhythmic movements; Moves entire body; Instinctual rhythmic movements; T) Responds to the music with repetitive movements; I) Moves isolated body parts rhythmically; C) Imitates learned musical movements; R) Uses musical movements in sequence

Listening: A) Recognizes changes in vocal timbre; T) Recognizes familiar melodies I) Matching intensity of their movements to intensity of the music; C) Stops action to listen to the music; R) Listens to the music of others (notices)
