This week we are featuring Jennifer Lopez, a very successful and professional singer, actress, designer, dancer, and philanthropist. Her career has spanned five decades and is one of the most popular and influential entertainers in the world.
Let’s Get Loud
In the pop world, "Let's Get Loud" made its grand entrance in Jennifer Lopez's debut album, _On the 6_ (1999). Originally crafted by Gloria Estefan, the song found a new home with J.Lo after Estefan decided it needed a fresh vibe. And boy, did Lopez put her own sassy spin on it! "Let's Get Loud" quickly became her anthem, leaving a trail of dance floor magic in its wake. Estefan later released her own take on the tune in 2011 as a special treat for fans.
Rhythm and Body Percussion Play-Along
Dive into this video for a fun rhythm or body percussion session! It's perfect for little ones to feel the groove with basic beats or for older kids to jazz it up with more complex rhythms. Get ready to rock out with quarter notes, eighth notes, half notes, whole notes, and even cool quarter rests. Let the music adventure begin!
Tip: Since the body percussion play-along includes a lot of tapping on the knees, feel free to swap that out for another movement.
Salsa Dancing
This play-along includes two “Dance Party” sections where the students can perform freestyle dance moves. The video shows salsa dancing and gives the option for the students to dance alone or with a partner. If your students cannot handle dancing together, please take away that option.
Manipulatives
The manipulatives include fun facts about Jennifer Lopez, Salsa dancing, and the rhythm patterns found in the music. You can take a copy of them and edit them for use in your classroom.
COMING SOON!
Save the date for next week! Get ready for another epic jam session with an incredible female solo artist!
