Our Time Week 13

Fiddle Dee Dee Week 13

As we near the end of the semester, renew your child’s excitement about Kindermusik through revisiting “old favourites”–favourite activities, favourite sounds on the CDs, favourite songs to sing, or favourite dances. Flipping through your Home Activity Book will remind you of many of these. And you might even come across some ideas you have yet to try! Also, review the Kindermusik Foundations of Learning™ statements to remind yourself of the many benefits of our classes.

This week we focused on high and low. We experience the concept of high and low with our bodies and this in turn helps us to understand the difference in musical pitch. At home this week why not try some high and low dances of your own. Put on some music and explore ways to move your body to the music. Make gliding sounds with your voices sliding from high to low and low to high. In music we call this movement a glissando.

If you have any tuned instruments at home why not see if you can find some high and low sounds on them.

Above all have fun!
