Young Child 2

Week 11:

The children are becoming experts at recognizing the difference between staccato and legato sounds! They can move accordingly when hearing the change from staccato music to legato music; they can play both types of sounds on their glockenspiels; and they can sing both staccato and legato. Listen to music together this week and invite your child to identify different articulation techniques—and other aspects of the music—that he hears. And don’t forget to practice “Lucy Locket” for our upcoming recital!
