In Pre-K through 1st grade, we are exploring some of the basic aspects of music and music-making. From high vs. low notes to steady beat, to reading quarter note rhythms (even Pre-K, we just make it more them-friendly), these kiddos are learning a ton! We practice singing with echo games where I use a slide whistle to make siren-like sounds for them to copy to "warm-up" their voices so we can sing together like a choir. The main goal of these younger classes is to teach the little ones that it's fun to play music, build their confidence in performing, give them opportunities to have fun, and help them connect to and think about the music in their life as they get older.
Some of the instruments we use are (left to right): Kazoos, toobaloos, boomwhackers, rhythm sticks, and - not pictured - glockenspiels and hand drums!
