Week 1 - Lesson #1 - If You're Happy And You Know It


Dear children,

Welcome to the first lesson of the academic year. Congrats to all of you for having made it thus far! So, let's maintain a proper notebook for our Western Music class this year and cover it nicely in RED. Write the lyrics (words) of all the songs that are uploaded here each week. Write proper titles of the song with date. I will check your notebooks when we resume school.

Note to parents: please note the changes made in the post. Since there is no assigned notebooks for Western Music, please do not write down the songs in any notebook. Refer to this lesson/blog for the song lyrics. As much as possible, kindly make your children learn and memorise the songs given in each lesson. You must also have received the syllabus booklet. All the songs are already there in the booklet under the Western Music curriculum. Kindly refer to the same.

Learning outcomes:

  1. Learn to follow a simple rhythm without breaking the pattern
  2. Do the actions according to the song


Today's song is "If You're Happy And You Know It"


Write down the lyrics in your notebook

If You're Happy And You Know It

[Verse 1]
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

[Verse 2]
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet

[Verse 3]
If you're happy and you know it, turn around (Ha-ha!)
If you're happy and you know it, turn around (Ha-ha!)
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, turn around (Ha-ha!)

[Verse 4]
If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray (Hooray!)
If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray (Hooray!)
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray (Hooray!)

If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray (Hooray!)
If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray (Hooray!)

Now try singing the following verses in the same tune as the video

[Verse 5]
If you're happy and you know it, snap your fingers
If you're happy and you know it, snap your fingers
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, snap your fingers

[Verse 6]
If you're happy and you know it, tap your head
If you're happy and you know it, tap your head
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, tap your head

Are you able to sing without the music now?

Have you written down the lyrics in your notebook? 

Learn the song by heart and sing without looking at the video or the notebook.

Send me a thumbs up 👍 in the comment section below if you've seen this lesson. Write your Name, Class with section and Roll No. 

If you have any questions, kindly post it in the comments section below.

Please Note: Do not write the full song in one day! Write it over a course of one week. Write one verse a day and learn the song. The purpose of your writing is so that you don't forget the song after a few months. And even if you do, we can always go back to the notebook and check it again.
