The 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)
