Bolero Ostinato

1.  Watch the instructional video and teach the rhythm to the class slowly.
​2.  Have someone play the melody of the first 8 bars of the song while the kids play the ostinato. (simple melody is notated at the end of this page.)
​(Have a part of the class add a chant of "osti - na - to" or counting to three, or conducting a 3 beat pattern to keep the pulse.  Define the difference between pulse and this rhythmic ostinato.
​3.  Have the class try to do the ostinato while listening to the recording.
​4.  Competition?   Put the class in a circle and keep repeating the ostinato. Kids drop out as they "mess up" the pattern.  Last one still doing it wins.
