THE BEST WAY TO TEACH STUDENTS TEMPO IS THROUGH MOVEMENT
LESSONS
Introduction to Tempo:
Use Mr. Greg's video to introduce Tempo to your students.

Tempo Turn
Create a "clock" with the various tempo terms you have chosen to teach your students. Each round select a student to spin the middle piece. Once it has landed on a term, have the students move to a song, practicing that tempo (ex - andante would be walking pace).
I Let Her Go Go
This is a great way for students to learn their tempo using a catchy and repetitive song. Teach the students the song first, and then have them watch the video above! Once they have a good grasp of it, yell out terms each round so they slow the tempo down or speed it up.
