The kids LOVE the gathering drum and are getting better and better at staying with me on the beat while we say the Lion Hunt chant. They also had a chance to play independently while we sang The Primary Chords Song. We also noticed how a major scale is made of baby steps and when we play baby steps on the bells we play the VERY next bell! We will continue to cover this concept in the coming weeks - - repetition is important and helps solidify these foundational musical concepts.

Parents come next week!! We'll have "SOL" much fun! :) 

Five Fat Turkeys

We introduced this song today. It helps us feel that steady beat and soon we’ll find the SOL SOL DO hiding in it.

Baby Steps

The line to a space, or space to a line pattern tells us that we’re moving on the staff in baby steps. Today was exciting because we actually notated a baby step on the staff. The kids are “getting” it! It’s so fun to watch their minds take it all in!

Primary Chord Song

Today we played the autoharp independently - YUP! They played the autoharp all on the their own today as we practiced the “Primary Chords Song”! So exciting! 

Today we notated baby steps on the staff. So for fun, we'd like to encourage you to get some playdough and have your child make 5 lines, 4 spaces and then some notes. You can use different colors or the same colors. It's up to you. Then put the notes on the lines or spaces and see if you can make some babysteps! 

I value open and honest communication so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.

Thank you!
