Young Child 4

Week 2:

The children were very excited today to learn the note a’ on their recorders! And not only did they learn to play the a’, it was incorporated into a special story they are learning to tell with music accompaniment. This story, Momotarosan, is a Japanese folk tale about a brave and generous little boy. Through the telling of the story with instruments, your child learns to watch a conductor (me), listen for a cue, play in an ensemble, and focus her attention on one activity for several minutes.
