Winter 2010 Semester Themes (begins January 11th) |
| Young Child Semester 2 |
Playing simple musical patterns and songs on the featured instrument from the first session-the glockenspiel-is a central focus this semester. While learning to sing a melody, and then play the pattern on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into the understanding of musical concepts such as piano and forte through orchestra-style music such as The William Tell Overture and Peter and the Wolf. Music appreciation and understanding continues with a complete introduction to the instruments-and the families in which they're grouped-of the orchestra. |
To continue your Semester Two experience all week long, At Home Materials include: worksheets, Music At Home cards & stickers, games bag, CD, and songbook. New students will also receive a tote bag and glockenspiel.
Young Child Semester 4
In this final semester, we'll introduce the recorder instrument. As your child is introduced to basic methods of playing simple melodic patterns and songs on this wind instrument, we'll also incorporate the instruments, concepts, and songs from previous semesters. With a special emphasis on multicultural music, your child will learn to improvise and write music, as well as experience the musical styles of the Pacific Islands, Europe, and Africa; plus play special dances and children's games from around the world, including Alpine dances, Mexico, and Ecuador.
