Music for Little Mozarts Teaching Intervals

The authors of the Music for Little Mozarts Piano Course demonstrate in these videos some fun, innovative ways to introduce intervals to very young students. The teaching activities use a "listen and copy" technique during which the teacher sings, chants, or claps, and the student responds by echoing the teacher. Students will learn about these intervals: seconds, thirds, fourths, and fifths.

Melodies to sing, using either solfege or letter names, help students to match pitch and discover tonal elements of music.
