Tapping Foot Rhyme and Song

Have you ever tried a tapping foot rhyme with your young one?

This is especially good in the warmer months when Baby or young ones are starting to wear baby clothes without sleeves, leggings or socks.

It is such a wonderful surprise to look down at tiny little toes, just waiting for a toe wiggle rhyme! They look so cute. The hardest decision was which baby toes or toe wiggle rhyme to do first?

The sole of the foot is very soft and just the right place to stroke with the beat as you say a foot tapping rhyme. There are lots about, but today try Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John
Went to bed with his stockings on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John.

Then on the other foot.

What a lovely experience for everyone !!

Have fun.
Jill

“I really enjoy the connections that develop through the shared music experience over the long term, between adult-child, child-child and child-teacher. 

The journey to independence is a fascinating process as children find their own voice.” ~Jill

"My two children have participated in the Macquarie University Early Childhood Music Program for 2 - 5 year olds under the expert teaching and guidance of Jill. Jill's multi-talent abilities of singing, playing a variety of instruments and early childhood education make her a very qualified and valued music teacher. My children have flourished under her auspices and really enjoy music in all forms: singing, dancing and playing instruments. I would recommend any child to participate in one of Jill's classes learning rhythm, pitch etc in an environment full of fun and creativity."

"Jill has taught my daughter as part of the Macquarie University's Institute of Early Childhood's Music Program for Children, both when she was a two year old and four year old. On both occasions, my daughter has found her engaging and fun to have as a music teacher. As a parent and fellow music educator, Jill has a great manner with the children of all ages. Her programs are thorough and interesting, sequential and challenging, yet achievable so as to foster the love, enjoyment and creativity of music. Thanks for a great start to another young person's musical life Jill!"
