Deep Sea Dive | Music With Mr. DelGaudio | Elementary Music Activity

Today we will put on our goggles and head under the sea for a silent musical movement activity called Deep Sea Dive. The beautiful music you are hearing is The Grand Finale from Edward Scissorhands, by Danny Elfman.

I was a substitute music teacher and had a group of kinders that nearly sent me over the edge but you saved the day! THANK YOU!!!

This is so great for calming kindergarteners. I've done this twice with multiple classes. The second time, many of them laid down on the floor and closed their eyes. Miracle. 10 minutes before, they had been jumping all over the place (we do lots of movement in class). Thanks again!

This is delightful! I do an under the sea theme with my primary grades every Spring. I will be sure to add this to the mix. I also have an extensive collection of sea creature stuffies from when my own children were young, but I never knew what to do with them. Now I do! I will add them to this activity! We'll sit in a circle and as each creature comes up, the children with those stuffies can swim around the circle while the rest of us do the actions. I cannot wait! I appreciate you incorporating soft, slow, and peaceful music to your repertoire. Children need quiet reflection times too. 😊

I can't thank you enough for these. Teaching music online feels like I'm drowning right now and am so frustrated when the kids can't even use instruments because they don't have access to them at home. Not to mention music and zoom are worst enemies and the kids can't even hear me play a drum over zoom. But my kids love your lessons because they don't have to deal with my voice lag and can still do interactive movements without instruments. You are truly a life saver in these tough times, thank you so much.

This is so calming. I'm curious if you would be willing to update it 2021-style with all of the cool backgrounds you use now. Thank you for everything you make and share so freely.

Your silent movement activities are a favorite with my younger grades and work so well with First Steps in Music-style lessons. I've used your videos for a few years now. Thank you so much for making them. :)
