----- Original Message -----From: kristenchicaSent: Saturday, May 07, 2011 5:30 PMSubject: [primusic] Re: Rhythm feetMy idea was to change feet on each beat, so the "hop hop" is even (like eighth notes), and "dun-ta" is a step followed by a tiny hop (for the dotted rhythm).
However, the activity would probably be just as fun, and much simpler, if you just had them alternate feet with each note.
Here are the words with my rhythms, if this helps. To make this line up correctly, just copy and paste it to a word processing program and change the font to courier.
Praise/ to the / man / who com- / -muned / with Je-/ ho- / va
Step / dun- ta / hop hop/ hop hop / step / dun- ta / step / step
