In this weekly class, have fun with hands-on musical activities incorporating singing, movement, and reading notation that are specifically designed for young learners!
Class experience
This is a specially designed class to engage small groups of young students in highly active musical experiences. In each class, students will practice singing, movement, and experiences in reading and using musical notation. Students will learn songs from the rich heritage of folk music. Together in class, we will use these songs to explore melodic and rhythmic notation. Students will use the notes studied to create their own rhythmic and melodic motifs. With the support of the teacher,...
Students will practice performing (singing, movement, and speaking) rhythms using quarter and eighth notes and quarter rests. Students will build a verbal and aural repertoire of songs utilizing major and minor tonalities, and practice reading melodic notation using solfege. Students will develop awareness of sounds and timbre while exploring sounds in the environment.
Sandra Girouard has a Bachelor of Music and Master of Arts in Education. She is certified in Orff-Schulwerk method of teaching music and has been trained in the Kodály method of teaching music. With over thirty years of teaching experience with students of all ages, she delights in fostering the musical growth of young children.
During specific weeks, learners may use household items as an instrument during class. **This information will be posted in the course description by the relevant dates.** An example of material for a class: - Week of October 3: Students should bring a small comb and a piece of waxed or tissue paper to class. - Week of August 22: one big (16 ounce) plastic cup (think red Solo Cup, but a souvenir cup from the movies or a ball park also works great) and an unsharpened wooden pencil with a complete erased. Even better the pencil will have a "cap eraser," the larger, replacement erasers that replace or slip over the existing eraser. Students who do not have the materials listed for class in any given week will still be able to participate in the class.
Materials and activities for this class will be teacher created. Musical literature used in this class is drawn from the rich heritage of world folk and classical forms of music.
