Joyful Noise Music: Week of January 3rd, 2011

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone's 2011 is off to a wonderful start!

We had a great time in music class doing some different things with each age group! Younger children danced with scarves and did fingergplays and peek-a-boo songs!

Our fours group prepared for a winter music performance in Fellowship Hall, and the threes class did fingerplays and songs and also used the parachute.

Our school age class had a great time making home made rainsticks with chip/puff canisters. First we decorated the outside of the container and then added twisted newspaper and small beans to create an interesting rain sound. If you are interested in making rainsticks or other homeade instruments with your child, please see the resource link below.

Thanks and have a great week!

What are we doing in class?

Each week, Joyful Noise Music Classes brings music theory and instrument exploration to your children by using a blend of best practice philosophy (such as the Orff method, Suzuki, and other music pedagogies),as well as a ton of fun and movement!

Singing, moving, laughing and learning is a big part of the program, but, one of our goals is to expose children to world culture, and music and lifestyles around the world. This exploration allows us to appreciate where our favorite music comes from and the people who have created it for us.
