From the look of things, it is quite difficult to tell the right age of the children, but I think they are between eight and ten years old. At this age, children demonstrate certain abilities like coordination, speed, and balance. They can harmonize their muscle movement, like the way the children in the musical are coordinating body movements while singing. They enjoy social aspects like activities that bring them together, like drama and music. In this case, they love music based on their facial expressions.
The students are participating in a musical cover for the song “It is All Happening.” They are a part of the Spirit Young Performers Art School that trains them to sing part-time. They are singing in different tones, while at the same time, making body movements in rhythm with the sound. They use facial expressions and hand gestures to deliver a spectacular performance (Cruz n.pag)
What surprised me about the student’s singing was their ability to vary their sound while at the same time, move and make different expressions using their faces. They have mastered the act of synchronizing their singing and their body movements, which makes their performance remarkable.
Students can learn to have confidence. Standing and singing in front of people or camera is not an easy feat if you are not properly trained. They can learn to trust their peers.

The singing and body movements in the videos are possible after practice. Every participant is sure that the next person is doing the right thing, and the result is that they trust each other. Recreating the activity in the video or writing about it will give my students some confidence. They will learn how they can express themselves in front of people.
Music is challenging. It involves different pitches and body expressions. I would allow my students to do a cover for a song they are familiar with. That way, they will embrace any activity involving singing about what they know.
