Laugh and Learn
Ages 2 1/2 years - Age 4 years
The two classes explored
“Weather Outside “Rooms In My Home” Themes explored were
Soft and Loud; Hard and Soft; Up and Down.
The gross motor control exercises demonstrated with “Sally Go Round The Sun” and the “Japanese Rain Dance”, enhanced such skills as riding a bike, not to mention the listening skills involved with stoping and starting. Kindermusik uses music from all over the world . ( Laugh and Learn )Listening to the rain and echoing the sounds of pitter patter were stimulus for fine motor skills and learned listening skills. Children learn to listen, they are born with the ability to hear. “These are the same exercises that promote such tasks as holding a pencil or tying a shoe. The use of finger play and listening games used with construction sounds such as hammers and saws were also excellent exercises for fine motor development .

Move and Grove Class

Staccato and Legato
Staccato and Legato
-
Was introduced to the musical terms staccato (short and detached) and
legato (smooth and connected) through graphic representation (see below).
-
Experienced staccato and legato music through listening, movement, and
singing.
-
Played rhythm sticks and castanets as an ensemble.
-
Had the opportunity to explore the woodblock.
-
Was invited to play the note C on the keyboard.
-
Learned about the life and music of the composer
Johann Sebastian Bach.
-
Listened to recordings of keyboard instruments:
piano and synthesizer.
-
Was invited to play the note C on the keyboard.
Staccato obstacle ideas: Bounce on a trampoline, dribble a basketball, or try your hand at hopscotch.
Legato obstacle ideas: Find a swing set, roll a ball, or twirl a Hula-Hoop. Or, if you’re feeling crafty, hot- glue some paper plates to the bottom of a pair of socks and presto—magic legato skate-socks!
Staccato
Legato
Collaborating—or working together with your child to create something— gives you both the opportunity to suggest ideas, take suggestions from one another, be creative, and work together. Research suggests that learning is more thorough and permanent when it is done while the brain is roused by the vestibular system. The vestibular system, which controls balance and coordination, is stimulated during movement. So, want to get your child thinking? To make your own keyboard, all you need is some white and black paper, scissors, a glue stick, and a cereal or shoebox. Begin by cutting out the patterns for the black and white keys. You will need to make 14 white keys and 10 black keys. Then, using the keyboard diagram as a reference, help your child glue the keys to the box. Glue the white keys first (aligning the bottom of each key with the bottom edge of the box), and then place the black keys correctly (they’ll overlap the white keys) before gluing them down. Now you are ready to find the note C, practice the bubble hand position
