My name is Miss Lewis, and I'm here to teach you some music.
So before we get started, can I get a show of hands of everyone who likes at least one thing about school when I say go?
And go.
Right?
So I'm gonna count to three and I want all of us to say what our favorite thing about school is.
One, two, three.
Music class.
Was mine obvious?
[chuckles] So before we get started, I want us to sing a song together about how much we love school.
But there are gonna be certain points where I sing by myself and certain points where you sing by yourself.
So when I go like this, who do you think sings?
Me.
That's right.
And when I go like this, who do you think sings?
You.

All singing starts with is do re mi.
Can everybody say do re mi?
Can you echo ♪ Do re mi Right.

So each one of those ♪ Do re and mi has a hand sign that goes with it that I wanna teach you now.
So can everybody sing for me ♪ Do And we're gonna put up a fist here, kind of like we're gonna do a little dance like this, but no dance, just a fist.
And everyone say ♪ Do Good.
Next one for ♪ Re We kind of make a karate chop.
Can I see everybody's karate chop?
Good.
♪ Re Let's go back to do.

Speaking of where I'm pointing to, do we happen to see the musical instruments in the background?
