5 Hello Songs for Preschool & Kindergarten: #3 "Hello There"
#3: "Hello There" – Traditional (featured in Music and You and Spotlight on Music)
This classic call-and-response hello song has been welcoming young musicians for generations. If you've used Music and You or Spotlight on Music, there's a good chance you've sung this one before!
The simple melody and echoing phrases make it easy for Preschool and Kindergarten students to learn, while giving them plenty of opportunities to sing with confidence.
I especially like using this song:
At the beginning of music class to welcome students.
As an opening song for concerts or informances.
To reinforce listening and echo singing skills.
To help students develop their singing voices in a fun, low-pressure way.
Sometimes the best songs are the ones that have stood the test of time, and this traditional favorite continues to be one of my go-to hello songs year after year.
