Songs and Poetry for ESLBut I don't know those tunesOne of the reasons so many old traditional songs are used is because so many people do know them.So you are using the KSSR syllabus and text book, and there is a lovely little rhyme with instructionsto use a particular tune, and ... you don't know that one.You have several choices:1. Make up your own tune (see the Create Your Own Songs page), or see if it fits another tune thatyou know.OR2. If you are at IPGKDRI, come and see the fellows - or one of the lecturers.OR3. Go to the links page. Almost everything is available on the Internet either as a sound file or onYouTube with someone performing the song. Look on the Places to find songs and music where youwill find a list of excellent websites.OR4. Try to find the song on this website, and hope that I have added a sound file. (Keep checkingbecause I am adding more all the time). If you still can't find it, try filling in the contact form on theCreate Your Own Songs page, and ask for it. :)Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow31
Songs and Poetry for ESLUsing a GuitarThere are many advantages to using a guitar in the classroom.Kids love it. They get really excited when they see the teacher come in with a guitar. It canbecome a great motivation, as they look forward to the moment when you pick it up andstart to strum.A guitar is relatively cheap (as instruments go), and very portable.A classical guitar (with nylon strings) doesn't make too much noise so as to upset the classesnext door.Gentle guitar playing is very calming for the children, they settle down quickly and want tolisten.It's EASY to learn!So if you are reading this and thinking 'yes, yes, it would be good ... if I could ...'Well, you CAN! And you can teach yourself.Guitar ChordsThe guitar has six strings.You will strum across the six strings with your right hand as you sing the song.With your left hand you need to press some of the strings against the 'frets' (the metal inserts on theneck of your guitar) in a particular pattern, to create a chord which is a combination of notes thatsounds harmonious with the notes you are singing.Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow32
