In the book, children engage with the story by listening first, then echoing the buzzing likes bees, humming like chickens and the ‘bok’ sound of each pitch as the chickens lay their eggs – from low to high in the chicken coop ‘stave’.
As an all-embracing exercise towards the end of the book, children then listen to and echo Mrs Clef’s singing of I See the Moon as she sings it to her chickens at night. Children can then sing the song and show the melody in the air by looking at the melodic contour represented by the moons.
Further to the theoretical learning and practical side of the music lesson, children are also presented with musical signs, notations and tools such as: the stave, treble clef, tuning fork and metronome.
