it stays the same all the way through.\u00a0 It&#8217;s like the heartbeat of the song.\u00a0 It can speed up or slow down, but once the speed has been adjusted, it stays the same.\u00a0 Can you show where the steady beat is by tapping gently on your shoulders, or on your head?\u00a0 Listen to the song again and see if you can keep the steady beat in your feet this time and walk around your home or in a circle.<\/li>\n<li>What instruments do you hear in the recording?\u00a0 Tell someone who is listening with you.<\/li>\n<li>Can you hear how the song is being sung in parts?\u00a0 Different groups of singers are singing the song from the beginning but they are not all starting at the same time.\u00a0 This is known as singing in a <strong>&#8220;Round.&#8221;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>If you feel like learning the words to this song, try singing along with the recording, choosing when to start your &#8220;part.&#8221;
