I Have, You Have

Music Therapy “I” and “you” pronoun videos & songs for special needs individuals.
Goal: Client will use “I” and “you” pronouns to state which person has which object/picture.
Domains: Language, Speech

Teaching “I” and “you” pronouns is difficult. At first, I tried to use lyrics… “When I say “I” it means me, but when you say “I” it means you.” This just seemed utterly confusing. Dictionary definitions such as “you: the pronoun of the second person singular or plural, used of the person or persons being addressed, in the nominative or objective case” weren’t much help either.

The solution I came up with was a vocal duet, demonstrating each person correctly using these pronouns. The teacher sings a lower melody. The student sings a higher melody. The two voices have been treated with different EQ and effects and are panned to the left and right sides. The teacher and their object are on the left. The student and their object are on the right. Text visuals also accompany the vocals and are highlighted when sung, alerting the student when it is time to sing along.

The timing of the teacher and students turns are the same throughout, however songs and videos 1 through 4 begin with the teacher singing “I have” (first focusing on the teacher’s object) whereas songs and videos 5 through 8 begin with the teacher singing “You have” (first focusing on the student’s object).

The videos and songs come in regular and fill in the blank versions. The fill in the blank versions remove the vocal duet portion sung by the student, so that the student can sing along independently.

Also included are 16 flashcards – all of the object pictures used in the project. The flashcards can be held or placed in front of the participants during the songs or videos. These flashcards can also be used to test for comprehension along with included text templates.
