Lovely to hear your first recording in the new course. Hope you liked meeting a new friend – BobbleHead! Do you or any of your friends wear specs like BoobleHead?
Here are some stars that Tootly and BobbleHead have sent for you! 🤓🌟🌟🌟🌟🤓

Dear Parent,
Welcome to Course 2 – and we’re really happy you are continuing with Tootly.
Now that the kids are comfortable with the vocal element of music, this exercise highlights another important element – rhythm. While steady beat is intrinsic in all of us (its actually easier to sing in a steady beat than not) – we often take it for granted and don’t pay much heed to it. This exercise aims to help children ‘hear’ and internalise the rhythm so that kids become comfortable in singing without needing a clapping or tapping action along with it.
Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – good
Singing/ Pitching – good
Rhythm – good
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – needs some work
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent
Notes:
(1) We would encourage Akshara to listen back to the recording and see if she feels she is using her ‘shouting’ voice vs her singing voice. Now that we are in Course 2, do keep in mind these finer aspects as it is the overall effect that makes a good singer 🙂
(2) we could not hear the backing reference of Bobblehead’s beat as is needed to assess the child’s rhythm sync, but we see that Akshara has broadly sung in a steady beat, so thats good
(3) As an extension, you can consider repeating (you needn’t send us a recording) at home so that you get used to singing at different speeds – for that: just type the word ‘metronome’ in the google search bar and press search. You will see a simple tool where you can change the speed (a bigger number is a faster speed) and click to play the beats. Now listen to the beat first and then single along just like you did with BobbleHead.
Look forward to hearing more from Akshara. The first live meet milestone for Course is on completion of Day 5. Please check your email notifications and set up the same at your earliest convenience. Please ignore if done already.
