Rhythmic Beat, Steady Beat, Variation, and Syllables using the song ‘I Love Playing Accordion’

Janie DOES love playing the accordion. You can visit her website, www.musicwithasmile.com, to watch some video clips of her playing the accordion, so students can see all the movements with both hands and arms, what it looks like, and how it sounds.

This song describes the instrument and invites the audience to clap and sing along. But don’t stop there. Pretend you are pushing buttons with one hand, keys with another, and opening and closing bellows while you do all the motions. Have fun “playing” the accordion along with Janie!

Accordion is a four-SYLLABLE word. Can you think of any other four-syllable words?
