I hope you guys had a great Halloween! We had such a fun time in class today. Be sure to come to the steps to get your kiddo after class. Especially with the time change, it could be dark when you pick them up and I feel better if kids are are always escorted to their vehicle.

Your kid's ears are getting smarter and smarter! They recognize the Mi-Re-Do and Sol-Sol-Do patterns and are starting to recognize and feel the difference between the Red, Blue, and Yellow chords. We also made a major scale with our own feet by baby stepping on the floor staff!

Next week is parent day! See you all then! :) 

Who Took the Cookie?

This may seem to be a simple child’s game, but there is wonderful rhythm component. When you talk during the chant the child is learning to keep a steady beat and verbally respond to and anticipate the rhythm.

Chords in Pieces

Our ears were in training during this activity. The students were learning to hear and identify a right or wrong chord. So essential to developing the musician inside.

Puppet Show

Today we did something a little different. We identified instrumentation by listening to the butterfly kissing the flower! When the students can hear different sounds and instruments within a piece it comes alive and they become sensitive listeners. 

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, here is a fun video and some fun activities you and your child will love!
