Sing only the word or phrase you (or the students) nominate, and sing the rest of the song in your head. To demonstrate what is to be sung, you might choose to play the video, say the words or sing it yourself. The students may enjoy making their own suggestions which words to sing next. MEMORY: There s no need to print or display the words. The whole song technique develops observation and memory. If parts are forgotten, or there are mistakes, that is all part of the process. Some activities may need to be repeated for practice but not until the point of perfection. MOVING: Devise actions for key ideas in the text Perform while singing the song Extension: Mix and match: Allocate actions and singing and sections of the song around the class for a fun variation.

Resources Audio PDF IWB Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall Waltzing Matilda - words Time Different Vocal Sounds, Didgeridoo Waltzing Matilda, Show Me! 1) A Memorable Melody Lead the listening of Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall by asking students What do you notice? (The piece is based on Waltzing Matilda). Teach the students to sing the traditional version of Waltzing Matilda. Search Slim Dusty Live at the 2000 Olympics Waltzing Matilda on YouTube. Or, use your own version of the song. Compare and contrast the YouTube version to the Song Company arrangement, discuss similarities and differences. Discuss the meaning of the song and unknown words, for example, what is a swag or Matilda? Where were they going? Use Waltzing Matilda - words for your reference. Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Patterson Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me 2013 Musica Viva Australia Song Company 16
18 Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred Down came troopers one two three Whose that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong You'll never catch me alive said he And his Ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong In Time the presenters explain and demonstrate time, with the support of animated notation. Allow the students to become competent with the beat, and at ease with each chapter. This may need to be revisited over several lessons. Echo clapping one or two rhythms between classroom activities throughout the school day can be an excellent way to reinforce a musical skill while energising and focusing the students for their next subject. The following activity puts this theory into practice: Revise Waltzing Matilda from YouTube. Copy to the students a body percussion pattern of four beats: Patsch, clap, clap, clap. Emphasise the first beat (the patsch). This emphasis in music is called an accent. Use this ostinato (musical pattern) to accompany a class version of the song using Matilda words. Waltzing As a class or in groups have students create their own body percussion and/or movement ostinato while they sing the song, with and without Reinforce the need to place an accent on the first beat (the patsch). Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall. Transfer the beat to non-melodic percussion instruments or drumsticks on found sound sources, such as tables or chair legs. Experiment with ways to accent the first beat by choosing two different instruments/sound sources; tambourines on the first beat and triangles for the remainder etc. Perform as a class with the students singing and keeping the beat on instruments. Play Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall and ask students to play along by keeping the beat using the instruments (remind them of the accent). Compare the beat accompaniment between the class version of Waltzing Matilda and the Song Company version e.g. describe and discuss similarities/differences - what was easy, what was hard etc. Point out to the students that they ve been playing a quarter note or crotchet pulse - one sound per beat. Explain that a crotchet can be said as 'ta' and have students say ta as they keep the beat. Relate back to Time, to reinforce the concept and skill Musica Viva Australia Song Company 17

Revise the accented body percussion pattern of four beats and accompany Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall with the ostinato; patsch, clap, clap, clap. Play Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall and change from quarter notes to a quaver pulse (eighth notes). Maintain this by patsching alternating hands during the introductory drone section (quavers are sung by the alto part). These are eighth notes or quavers - half the length (value) of quarter notes (crotchets). They can be said as 'ta-te' (French time names) or 'ti-ti' (Kodaly and Orff). Be sure to be consistent if using these highly effective approaches to saying rhythms. Divide the class in two; group 1 performs the quarter beat (crotchet or ta) pulse; group 2 perform the eighth notes (quavers or ta-te / ti-ti). Begin these two rhythms separately, and then perform simultaneously. EXTENSION Show students the notation of ta and ta-te (quarter note and two eighth notes, or crotchets and quavers) as above. Students devise a combination of these rhythms as a 1-bar of ostinato using body percussion. Play the ostinato as an accompaniment to Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall. Transfer the ostinato to non-melodic instruments or drumsticks on found sound sources.

Waltzing Matilda, Musical Conversations! Lead the listening of Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall by asking students What do you notice? (The piece is based on Waltzing Matilda). Teach the students to sing the traditional version of Waltzing Matilda. Search Slim Dusty Live at the 2000 Olympics Waltzing Matilda on YouTube. Or, use your own version of the song. Compare and contrast the YouTube version to The Song Company arrangement, discuss similarities and differences. Discuss the meaning of the song and unknown words, for example, what is a swag or Matilda? Where were they going? Use Waltzing Matilda - words for your reference. Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Patterson Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled 2013 Musica Viva Australia Song Company 25
27 Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred Down came troopers one two three Whose that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong You'll never catch me alive said he And his Ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong In Time the presenters explain and demonstrate time, with the support of animated notation. Allow the students to become beat competent and at ease with each chapter. This may need to be revisited over several lessons. Echo clapping one or two rhythms between classroom activities throughout the school day can be an excellent way to reinforce a musical skill while energising and focusing the students for their next subject. The following activity puts this theory into practice: Revise Waltzing Matilda from a suitable YouTube performance. Copy to the students a body percussion pattern of four beats: Patsch, clap, clap, clap. Emphasise the first beat (the patsch). This emphasis in music is called an accent. Use this ostinato (musical pattern) to accompany a class version of the song using Matilda words. Waltzing As a class or in groups have students create their own body percussion and/or movement ostinato while they sing the song, with and without Reinforce the need to place an accent on the first beat (the patsch). Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall. Transfer the beat to non-melodic percussion instruments or drumsticks on found sound sources, such as tables or chair legs. Experiment with ways to accent the first beat by choosing two different instruments/sound sources; tambourines on the first beat and triangles for the remainder etc. Perform as a class with the students singing and keeping the beat on instruments Musica Viva Australia Song Company 26
28 Play Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall and ask students to play along by keeping the beat using the instruments (remind them of the accent). Compare the beat accompaniment between the class version of Waltzing Matilda and the Song Company version e.g. similarities / differences, what was easy, what was hard etc. Point out to the students that they ve been playing a quarter note or crotchet pulse - one sound per beat. Explain that a crotchet can be said as 'ta' and have students say ta as they keep the beat. Relate back to Time to reinforce. e) Using Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain, teach the soprano part Waltzing Matilda - Ruth McCall, 0:40. This can also be heard as a separate track, with individual vocal parts layered over the bass vocals Waltzing Matilda - bars bass, tenor, soprano then alto. Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain f) Divide the class into two groups: - Group 1 will sing the vocal refrain; - Group 2 will keep the pulse by playing on each beat using body percussion and/or nonmelodic percussion instruments. Swap roles or have the students perform both parts simultaneously. Perform with and without Waltzing Matilda - bars bass, tenor, soprano then alto. Identify the difference between keeping the beat and the vocal part (the vocal refrain is off the beat - syncopated). Discuss Musica Viva Australia Song Company 27
29 g) Teach the soprano part, using Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain 2 and Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall, 1:57. Waltzing Matilda vocal refrain 2 h) Divide the class into two groups: - Group 1 will sing the vocal refrain; - Group 2 will keep the pulse by playing on each beat using body percussion and/or nonmelodic percussion instruments. Swap roles or have the students perform both parts simultaneously. Perform with and without the excerpt Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall, at 1:57. Compare and contrast the two vocal refrains (the first refrain has a descending melody and is syncopated; the second refrain features an ascending melody, and has less syncopation). The following activities reinforce the rhythms by adapting the vocal refrains into creative outcomes. i) Revise Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain. Have students sing along, then sing and clap the rhythm along to Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall, at 0:40. Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain j) Revise Waltzing Matilda - vocal refrain 2, have students sing along, then sing and clap the rhythm Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall at 1: Musica Viva Australia Song Company 28
30 For the first vocal refrain have the class transfer the rhythms to body percussion/movement with and without the recording Waltzing Matilda - bars bass, tenor, soprano then alto. For vocal refrain 2 have the class transfer the rhythms to body percussion/movement with and without the recording Waltzing Matilda - bars bass, tenor, soprano then alto. Divide the class in three, using body percussion; group 1 plays their vocal refrain pattern; group 2 plays their vocal refrain 2 pattern; group 3 keeps the beat. Swap parts. If this is challenging for students, they should sing the melody in their heads as they play. Transfer the patterns to non-melodic percussion instruments or found sound sources (each group with its own instruments or found sound sources). Begin separately then layer each pattern in so all are being performed simultaneously. EXTENSION Research repertoire that has been adapted from simple folk tunes and expanded into major works and how this has been achieved, for example, Beethoven s Ninth Symphony, Rimsky- Korsakov s Scheherazade or Copland s Appalachian Spring. Researching folk tunes used in Popular music may also be of interest, such as Blackbird by The Beatles. 2) Please Accompany Me View Time for revision and have students focus on the quavers. Revise the accented body percussion pattern of four beats and accompany Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall with the ostinato; patsch, clap, clap, clap. Play Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall. Change from a to a quaver pulse (eighth notes). Maintain this by patsching alternating hands during the introductory drone section (quavers are sung by the alto part). These are eighth notes or quavers - half the length (value) of quarter notes (crotchets). They can be said as 'ta-te' (French time names) or 'ti-ti' (Kodaly and Orff). Be sure to be consistent if using these highly effective approaches to saying rhythms. Divide the class in two; group 1 performs the quarter beat (crotchet or ta) pulse; group 2 perform the eighth notes (quavers or ta-te / ti-ti). Begin these two rhythms separately, and then perform simultaneously Musica Viva Australia Song Company 29
31 EXTENSION Show students the notation of ta and ta-te (quarter note and two eighth notes, or crotchets and quavers) as above. Students devise a combination of these rhythms as a 1-bar of ostinato using body percussion. Play the ostinato as an accompaniment to Waltzing Matilda - by Ruth McCall. Transfer the ostinato to non-melodic instruments or drumsticks on found sound sources.
