Young Child 4

Week 3:

This week, we learned how to play “c” on our recorders. Of course, the children already recognize the sound of c” and a’, have sung the notes in many songs, and know how both c” and a’ look on the music staff. Now they can play these two notes on the recorder! At home, your child will be excited to find that he can play simple melodies such as Rain, Rain, Go Away and 1-2 Tie My Shoe with his two notes on the recorder! Be sure she is holding the recorder with the left hand on top!

We also had a lot of fun playing a song from Hawaii with our puili sticks (boomwhackers) and preparing a Japanese folk tale incorporating a few fun instruments. We can’t wait to perform it for you next week!
