Oh Well You Walk

  • "Oh Well You Walk" (also known as "Walk and Stop") is a fun song that's useful for practising beat in different tempi.
  • Students can improvise new words and actions, e.g. stamp, creep, crawl, hop, run.
  • I use this song to walk younger students to and from class - practising beat all the way!
