INFANT THROUGH SCHOOL AGE
It was so fun to use the triangles today to talk about shapes and "vibration", that magical music word. In our classes today we discussed the importance of holding the triangle by the string so that it properly resonates. We also played a very fun game pretending to be baby pigs sleeping and getting called to the trough by a farmer yelling "Sooeeey!" with his "mealtime triangle".
INFANT CLASS
Beyond exploring the triangle, we had fun with these "bouncing" or "lap" songs today: "Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon" and "Mommy Go Round the sun". Check out the video below!
SCHOOL AGE
The schoolagers really used their creative literary brains today as we did a visualization exercise in music today. Using the sounds of the triangles, we closed our eyes to conceptualize an image, time or place, or object that the triangle sound reminded us of. We then drew these concepts and made a book, discussing and sharing them in circle time. See the video below!
