Tap dancing is a form of working with and creating music, 1 <br /> 1 and a bit of tap infusion could perhaps help make some of the points 1 <br /> 1 included in the school's curriculum. If you have an opportunity to involve 1 <br /> 1 your music or social studies teacher she/he will certainly have a number of 1 <br /> 1 ideas. If you're on your own, consider thinking about: 1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1 Music, Math 1 <br /> 1 Rhythmic concepts: Tap is all about rhythm, and a number of basic rhythmic 1 <br /> 1 concepts, such as syncopation and marking time, can be easily identified in 1 <br /> 1 tap dancing. These concepts could be emphasized by asking students to <br /> 1 practice demonstrating with their feet (hand claps are great, but why not 1 <br /> 1 consider stomps!). From a math perspective, rhythmic patterns can be used 1 <br /> 1 to demonstrate principals such as division, fractions and sets. 1 <br /> 1 Music, Social Studies j <br /> 1 Music types: A connection with the music curriculum as well as social studies 1 <br /> 1 could be found in considerations of the different types of music featured in 1 <br /> 1 your school's NCYTE performance (e.g. blues, classical, bluegrass, old-time, 1 <br /> 1 folk, Latin,jazz). These music traditions have historical perspectives and some <br /> 1 have a specific geographic identification. Can the students recognize these <br /> 1 types of music or the composers? Do they know the historical roots? (See 1 <br /> 1 the Dance Details section for more information.) 1 <br /> 1 Physical Education 1 <br /> 1 A number of physical education activities naturally include rhythm. Jumping 1 <br /> 1 rope can be done rhythmically. Students can try bouncing a ball to different 1 <br /> 1 rhythms, hopping, skipping, or just plain old experiment with making noise 1 <br /> 1 with their feet. Some of the body rhythm exercises on page 10 could be 1 <br /> 1 good to do in the physical education class. 1 <br /> 1 A 1 <br /> 1 1 tt, 1�> <br /> 1 _, <br /> 1 North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble-Guide for teachers 11 1 <br /> V.Ar►."/•.•••∎•∎""r "Ar►.."."/►. e" . ►. ►4 ►. ∎•••" , ►,i►.i►. ►A". ,,.r►./►.r► W,.", <br />
