Create your own Developmental Sequence of music responses

[Julie Palmieri]

Using the Developmental Sequence Worksheet as a guide, create your own developmental sequence of music responses for each of the four music experiences: Sing Play Move Listen.

[Leslie Aldrich]

Sing –
Awareness: Alters movements in response to singing voice.
Trust: Make changes in their pitch in response to changes in singing pitch.
Independence: Uses vocal glissando.
Control: Using different vocal timbres; shouting vs whispering.
Responsibility: Matches pitches in high and low ranges.

Play –
Awareness: Turn eye gaze towards instruments sounds.
Trust: Reach out to touch instruments.
Independence: Strikes instruments with hands.
Control: Uses a mallet or striker to play an instrument.
Responsibility: Plays rhythm patterns on a two-handed instrument.

Move –
Awareness: Makes repetitive movements intuitively; sucking.
Trust: Move body parts with internal rhythmic beat.
Independence: Claps hands along to music.
Control: Combine movements in a repeated pattern.
Responsibility: recall and reproduce simple dances.

Listen –
Awareness: Alter movement in response to silence in the music.
Trust: Look toward the face of the person singing.
Independence: Seeks out the source of music.
Control: Sings along with peers.
Responsibility: Adjusts the quality of their singing to blend with a group.

[Melissa Neitzel]

Singing
Awareness: make repeated sounds
Trust: repeat series of simple interval patterns
Independence: vocalize descending intervals and major 2nd
Control: sing two-word phrases using pitched intervals
Responsibility: sing 4-5 note phrases

Playing
Awareness: tolerate sound of familiar instrument play
Trust: reach out to touch instrument
Independence: explore instrument with hands, feet, or mouth
Control: shake instruments in a variety of tempos
Responsibility: alternate hands to play shaking instruments

Movement
Awareness: tolerate body parts being moved rhythmically
Trust: move entire body rhythmically in response to music
Independence: use body to rock our bounce rhythmically
Control: isolate body parts to move rhythmically (head, feet, etc.)
Responsibility: maintain independent movement in a group movement game

Listening
Awareness: show pleasure toward music in the environment
Trust: display affect changes in response to emotional content of music
Independence: demonstrate musical preferences and dislikes
Control: tolerate change in music activity
Responsibility: transition from activity to activity within session

Sing: Awareness – Uses pitched vocalizations in simple rhythms and variable duration. Trust – Singing is purposeful & matches pitch ~50% w/simple 1:2 ratios w/in rhythms and generally using descending intervals. Independence – Responds to music w/vocalizations & sings with varied vowels, consonants, & babble. Control – Follows melodic contour of familiar songs (w/out solidified accuracy of pitches w/in contour.) Varies vocal dynamics, & tessitura is D-A above middle C. Sings spontaneous song fragments and familiar songs. Responsibility – Uses melodic rhythm in familiar songs. Maintains melodic intonation of familiar song. Sings in both major and minor keys.

Play: Independence – Purposefully explores variety of instruments. Can strike a drumhead, shake a maraca, transfer instrument from one hand to another, and bang two objects together. Control – Likes to pound and bang on things and has a fast internal rhythm. Responsibility – Imitates simple rhythm patterns and groups into sequence, and can match loud and soft. Can maintain a steady beat.

Move: Awareness – Engages in simple, instinctual rhythmic movements & actions. Trust – Responds to music with repetitive movements that are not synced to the music. Briefly uses pulse and meter. Independence – Bounces, rocks, and moves rhythmically using the whole body or isolated body parts (e.g. hand claps). Control – Imitates learned movements and dances spontaneously to music. Responsibility: Uses pulse when moving musically and follows pulse of familiar songs, stabilizes rhythm of movement patterns, repeats rhythm patterns and uses musical movements in sequence.

Listen: Awareness – Can discriminate pitches and timbre, responds differently to sedative vs play-songs, and prefers consonance. Trust – Prefers higher pitch, moves focus inward to lullabies and outward to play-songs. Recognizes familiar melodies, changes in rhythm or melody in familiar songs & differentiates tempo changes from rhythmic changes. Locates sounds at a distance. Independence – Enjoys crescendo, fermata, glissando, and pauses. Control – Practices vocalizations through repetition. Responsibility – IDs low pitches easier than high. Increasing recognition of melodic rhythm without lyrics, recognizes loud and soft, IDs the sound of an instrument within a group. Listens to play of others.

[Christine Wick]

Singing Awareness: Looks at you Trust: repeats vocalizations/babbles Independence: vocalize descending intervals Control: sing two-word phrases using pitched intervals Responsibility: Rhythmic singing with changes

Playing Awareness: tolerates a preferred instrument sound Trust: begins to reach toward new instrument Independence: explores instrument in different ways Control: plays instrument in different ways, deciding when to play and stop Responsibility: trades instruments with partner

Movement Awareness: sits in mom’s lap while mom rocks/bounces legs Trust: repeats familiar movement to music Independence: uses body to rock our bounce rhythmically Control: isolates body parts to move Responsibility: Move differently than mom to music

Listening Awareness: Looks toward music Trust: displays affect changes Independence: Moves to music Control: Communicates changes – fast/slow/loud/soft Responsibility: responds to musical cues within songs

[Katelyn Caruso]

Singing:
Awareness- moves body to look at the singer, makes pitched vocalizations
Trust- vocalizations are purposeful, usually sings descending intervals and can match pitch about 50% of the time
Control- sings 2-word phrases, can follow melodic contour even if not exact pitches, sings spontaneously and some familiar songs
Responsibility- Sings rhythmically with changes to familiar songs

Playing:
Awareness- Tolerates different timbres of preferred instruments
Trust- reaches toward or begins to explore instrument
Control- begins to play instrument in different ways and plays/stops when they want to, generally fast internal rhythm
Responsibility- can play with both hands, can approximate rhythm patterns
Independence- can play a steady beat and play striking and shaking instruments, repeats rhythm patterns

Movement:
Awareness- intuitive rhythmic movements such as sucking
Trust- moves body parts in response to music
Control- dances to music, can isolate a body part to move to music (not necessarily on the beat)
Responsibility- can move independently from a group to music

Listening:
Awareness- looks towards the music, prefers sedative vs. play songs and reacts differently to both, can determine different timbre and pitches
Trust- prefers high pitches, begins to like play songs and doesn’t react to them with fear, can locate sounds further away
Control- can differentiate rhythmic and dynamic changes
Responsibility- can respond to cues within the music
Independence- listens to musical play of others
