RR: Unplugged Class Script

Winter 2015 Week #16

**These classes are to be performed with a Conductor and Co-
Conductor, accompanied by just the acoustic guitar and
without wireless mic headsets. The Theater curtain should be
closed to conceal the RR keyboard, drum kit, and sound
system. The mp.3 player will need to be hooked up prior to the
start of class and the cord run through the curtain. The guitar
stand will also need to be placed in front of the curtain.

*Please note, for these classes, most of the instructions should

be geared toward the adults in the class. You want to always
suggest or demonstrate ways for them to interact with the
youngest children in the class. Keep in mind that adults may
be a little uncomfortable at first; that is okay, they will develop
a comfort level over time; encourage the adults to participate,
but do not push them.

Music Cue: Rockin Railroad Instrumental track (SFX)

plays on mp.3 player hooked up to Theater sound system

(The doors open to let class begin, as recorded Rockin Railroad

Instrumental track continues playing. Co-Conductor is greeting
class members as they enter. The Conductor and/or Co-
Conductor direct each infant/grown-up pair to the ABC rug.
Wiggle mats should be made available as options for them to
take and use if desired. Teachers can also let grown-ups know
that they can bring their own from home if theyd like.)

House on guitar

(While Conductor plays guitar, Co-Conductor should sit front-and-

center to demonstrate the lap movements over the vamp for
Grandmas House BEFORE launching into the song.)

*As the semester progresses, a lengthier demonstration will

not be needed for the lap movements. Use your best judgment
on when to implement in entirety (particularly for the first few
weeks of a semester or half-semester; or if you have a lot of
make-ups and/or trials scheduled).

Co-Conductor: Grown-ups, please put your tiny passengers in your

laps now and follow along. Lets start off with a bounce to the beat like
this (demonstrates general bouncing movement). Now, try this motion
when we get up and go from Instrumentville (demonstrate knees
walk up). Then, lets do this when we get down to Grandmas house
(demonstrate knees walk down). To cross the street, well look and
lean this way (demonstrate lean to left), and then well look and lean
the other way (demonstrate lean to right). And, finally, well roll back
on Go! (demonstrate roll back motion). Grown-ups if youd rather
and are more comfortable while your child sits in your lap, you can
rest them against your chest; then, grab hold of the back of their legs
above the knees; and lift them slightly as you lean back (demonstrate
over vamp). Okay, ready? Here we goooo

Grandma can then introduce the sound AND movement
that corresponds with the letter.

Grandma: <T> makes a(n) <Tremendous> sound.

(Grandma demonstrates spoken sound over vamping)

Grandma (cont.): Can everyone try and make that sound with me?
Grown-ups, your little ones learn and make their first sounds by
watching and hearing you; so, lets all say the sound of the letter <T>
together, please!
(Grandma demonstrates spoken sound over vamping, this time with
the grown-ups help)

Grandma (cont.): And, hey, why dont we also try to sing it? Sing
<t>a, <t>a, <t>a, <t>a, <t>a, <t>a
(Grandma leads singing of the letters sound over and along with the
vamping by adding an ah vowel sound to the letter. The band keeps
vamping and singing the sound while Grandma continues.)

Grandma (cont.): What can we do that starts with the letter <T>?
Oh, I know lets all <Twist>!

Grandma should encourage grown-ups to demonstrate by

<twisting their hips while holding their babies>. They might
also <hold the little ones at their trunks while their feet to
touch the ground and their hips side to side>, if comfortable!

Conductor: Wow, that was so much fun. I love the letter <T>!

underneath)

*As the semester progresses, Conductor can suggest a rotation

of lying positions for the little ones 1) on their backs; 2)
tummy time; 3) leaning back on their grown-ups bent knees.

Conductor: (while still kneeling on the floor) Alright passengers, lets

try what Grandma said. Lets all take a little nap. Grown-ups, if your
little one is comfy, lie them down and well play a bit of peek-a-boo
while thinking of something using our imaginations. Okay, on the count
of one, cover their eyes, and then on three well get a big surprise! 1:
cover their eyes 2: no peeking 3: PEEK-A-BOO, uncover those eyes!
(Co-Conductor blows streams of bubbles in the air to fill the room.)

Conductor (cont.): Oh boy, look at all of these wonderful thought

bubbles!
*Conductor can let the grown-ups know if they seemed
concerned that our bubbles are non-toxic (made with a sugar
base), and they are completely safe for the babies. Co-
Conductors, please make sure to blow a small amount of
bubbles into the air at the start of this section as to not
overwhelm the babies (and the grown-ups).
