Kate!!!!

So good to hear from you. I will have to make a video of the next time we do this.

I perform a steady beat alternating patschen along with the “Hickory Dickory Dock” part of the rhyme. During the other parts of the rhyme we perform a patschen that matches what we are doing on the instruments.

Hello, friend 🙂 Do you have a video of yourself teaching this? I always find videos to be the most informative thing. If you ever want to lead an in-service for music teachers and put it on youtube, it would be epic…. And I would want to be there…. 🙂

There was/is no specific melody. I set this instruments in a way that gives the greatest opportunity for success. In my schedule last year I had three self-contained special ed classes in a row. I was able to set up 2 instruments with just C (bar 1) and G (bar 5) and the other instruments were set in C pentatonic. I was able to leave them set that way for most of the day.

Hope this helps,
Patrick

I know this poem as a child. When there are mallet parts like bordun etc., is there a specific set of notes, melody to this poem? I only know this as a poem. Forgive my naivety. Thanks so much for any feedback.
