About This Resource

This educational music video showcases the Hasheeng family (the fish family) as they swiftly swim along the waves of rhythm.

Classroom Lesson Guide

[Recommended Lesson Flow]

Introduction (5 minutes): Begin by asking, "Who swims faster-a fish with one tail or a fish with four tails?" This question is desi
gned to spark curiosity about the acceleration of rhythm.

Spend 15 minutes repeatedly watching the music video to fully internalize the rhythm.
Experience the captivating mood of the music as you watch the Hassingis ride the waves of rhythm.

During the second viewing, follow the rhythm of the English lyrics-such as eighth and sixteenth notes—and practice subdividing the beat with your fingers, matching the moments when the number of Hassingis tails increases.

Conclusion (10 minutes): Conduct a 'Rhythm Speed Quiz.' When the teacher announces the number of beats or displays a musical note symbol, the children conclude the lesson with a 'beat control physical game,' moving their bodies quickly or slowly, imitating the H
assingis.

[Teaching Notes]

Use consistent global terminology: Since the English lyrics are included, display key terms like "eighth note" with visual cards to help children naturally learn musical English expressions.

Experience the thrill of speed: The rapid tempo in the 64th note section can be challenging for children. Encourage them by saying, "It's okay to make mistakes; just enjoy swimming fast!" to keep the learning process fun and engaging.
