Read A Clock
From Plank Road Publishing
by John RiggioThe ability to read an analog clock is still valuable in our digital world. This song will get your youngsters thinking about the concept of reading a clock, and it's a good starting point for teaching them how to do so. It mentions the basic components of reading a clock face – the short hand, the long hand, and the numbers.
Musically, the song has an uplifting feel. It begins with clock sounds – seconds ticking by and hand movement sounds. Pizzicato strings and piano start their plucky motif. The vocal line is simple and repetitive. On the repeat, we add a beautiful piccolo trumpet line. (from Music K-8, Vol. 31, No. 1)
