Spring Week 2

This week in class we continued to enjoy songs without words.  These songs are easy for children, and adults, to process and sing quickly because your brain does not have to be concerned with learning the melody and new words at the same time.  This collection of songs has some wonderful songs without words.  (Songs without words are songs sung on various syllables or sounds that have no meaning.)

We continued to explore mixed meter with singing and playing instruments in 5/4.  Singing while counting your fingers is a great way to feel the 5/4 meter and practice fine motor skills and counting!

Our extra dance and play along this week were the Ray Anthony's Bunny Hop and Dan Zanes version of All Around the Kitchen.  Enjoy them at home with the links below!
