Jackson Nelson’s mom, Ms. Tera, came back to visit our class to continue to help the kids discover music through play! Here some of the fun things they did:
- They learned more solfeggio words and hand signs for Mi-Re-Do and Sol-Sol-Do. This cadence pattern was hidden in some of the songs she sang with them – Let’s Play Music, Hickety Pickety, Echo Ed, 5 Fat Turkeys, Circle Left, and Let’s Say Goodbye.
- They learned so fun animal beats to the Barnyard Boogie. Ask them to clap the sounds of the animals: Cow (Moo-Moo), Duck (Quack-y, Quack-y, Quack, Quack), Pig (Oin-ky Oink, Oin-ky Oink), and the Sheep (Baa-baa-ba-ba-ba).
- They learned 3 Primary Chords that make up most of our music. Also, that each of those chords are made up of 3 parts like our triangles have 3 points – Red (Do-Mi-Sol), Blue (Do-Fa-La), and Yellow (Ti-Re-Sol).
- They did some classical music listening too through a puppet show! Ms. Tera gave each one of your children their own page of puppets to color and perform for you. Here’s a link to the music – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwgOWDUlDgY
Music is a lot fun, especially when you can learn all these great musical concepts through play!
Thank you, Ms. Tera! We always enjoy having you in our classroom for music!!
