Young Child 4

Week 14:

This week, we continued to focus on music of Central and South America. We also reviewed musical form or structure. Exposure to songs with clearly defined phrases and simple structures such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and “Simple Melody” help children develop an awareness of form and pattern in musical language.

Comprehension of musical language tends to give those who participate in formal instrument instruction a head start in their music study. This comprehension, combined with the Kindermusik graduate’s knowledge of music notation and sound, can pave the way to an extremely fulfilling musical experience for your child!

All young child students performed wonderfully at our recital this weekend! I will be posting a video soon!
