Today’s class was full of fun and games—literally—with lots of learning mixed in! The children really enjoyed the Musical Baseball game. (In fact, I had a couple requests for football next week!) When each child came up to “bat,” he or she listened to me play a simple c”-a’ melody on the glockenspiel and then had three chances to repeat it. Little did they know that they were honing their auditory discrimination skills while playing the game!
An important concept explored today was the concept of dynamics—the term which refers to how loud or quiet music is. Several activities dealt with identifying loud (forte) and quiet (piano) sounds.
