Young Child 4

Week 4:

Last week the children were able to hear the difference in two pitches on the recorder. Today we focused on hearing and recognizing a rhythmic pattern. The children became familiar with four different rhythmic patterns by saying and clapping them as well as by playing them on rhythm sticks. Then I sang a song that used one of those patterns over and over. Using their listening skills, they were able to identify the “correct” rhythm pattern.

The development of listening skills can affect your child’s life in many ways by building the ability to appreciate of music, understand verbal directions, recognize sounds of caution, enjoy the sounds of nature, participate in a conversation, and more. Kindermusik provides the opportunity for your child to broaden and expand upon skills used daily!
