Jazz

For our play along in class this week we jammed to Ella Fitzgerald's Old MacDonald.  After playing however we wanted with the music we played together on different beats (microbeat, macrobeat, supermicro).  I encourage you to play at home patting the beat on the whole note, half note, quarter note, and eighth note.  You do not need to force your child to play this.  Just model it for them and they will learn to feel, and play the beat just like you.




So far this session we have hopped like bunnies and danced like chickens!  Enjoy doing this at home.



 I love this video of a family doing the bunny hop together to celebrate their little girls birthday!
