    Scots Dialect is one of the three languages spoken in Scotland. However, it is very similar to English making it accessible for teaching songs. The awesome part about

    songs in Scots Dialect is the correlation with the rhythmic pattern so often used in Scottish Music called the Scotch Snap (dotted eight & a16th). This lesson doesn’t teach that rhythmic pattern as it’s a little advanced to learn, but it’s not too early to feel it. We provide a fun game to move to the music, a syllable/rhythm matching game and also some visual learning to match up the sounds with the written vocabulary. There are a lot of opportunities for extension including a composer study on Robert Burns!

      Movement is  vital to music education. We've provided a movement game with this lesson !

    • Scots Dialect

      Similar to English, but this language certainly has some differences that are easy and fun to learn! We provided rhythm games using the vocabulary! 

    • Robert Burns

      Robert Burns is Scotland's most famous poet. His songs were mostly in Scots Dialect. I bet you already know one and hear it every year on New Year's Eve!
