Traffic Jam!

Description

We loved writing and teaching this lesson and hope you and your students enjoy it as well! Children will enjoy learning and singing about short and long notes to Beethoven’s 5^th Symphony; will be introduced to half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes through a fun Rhythm Traffic Jam activity; will learn about beat in music with a fun music and movement activity; will play a pre-staff notation piece on the piano; will compose their own symphony by choosing a pattern of short and long notes; and will have fun learning all about rhythm through song, play, movement, listening and art.

Children in our Mighty Musicians music classes will experience and learn about music through listening, singing, movement and play, and will also use their newfound knowledge to work on their basic piano skills. Students will also learn about the great composers and their music, and have the opportunity to do some composing themselves! This class is appropriate for children who have taken the Early Explorers class, have had some piano or music experience, or for those who may not have had a class in the past but are eager to learn and get a jumpstart into music!
