I was trying to find songs to help show dynamics and found your page. Thank you!
Last week we used colors to demonstrate piano and forte (kids chose the colors and each had different ideas but, all worked). The kids did so well that we even added in mezzo piano and mezzo forte! So, tomorrow we’ll use your suggestion of the Hall of the Mountain King and John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt 🙂
Awesome! I love your idea of using colors! Thanks for sharing!
