INFANT THROUGH SCHOOL AGE

Today in music class we learned all about the flute: how many pieces assemble it, the head joint, embouchure, keys and pads, air technique, and how it is a member of the woodwind family. I have several flutes but today I brought an open-holed flute to share. We had fun trying different breath techniques, moving to the pace of the flute's music and also creating a paper flute that even had "hole punched" keys! Ask your child about the flute and if they enjoyed listening today! =)

INFANT THROUGH SCHOOL AGE
Today we revisited our good old pal, the quarter note! The kids really enjoyed creating their own four beat rhythms comprised of quarter notes ("tahs") and quarter rests. They also used treble clef stamps to both decorate and begin their music staff patterns.
We also had fun playing rhythms with shakers and rhythm band instruments!
