This group music lesson will explore music in a variety of fun and engaging activities. Every class will focus on singing, rhythm, movement, listening and exploring a variety of different songs....with a different theme each week! Week of August July 26: "Animal Jam!" - Singing about animal's is super fun! Come and sing and move to songs about all kinds of animals. Selections may include "Old MacDonald," Alice's Camel," "Snail, Snail," "What Does the Fox Say?," "Down By The Bay" and other! What's your favorite animals? Leave me a message and we can work it into the set list! Week of August 2nd: "Numbers and Letters" - Singing songs about numbers and letters is a great way to learn some essential skills. In this lesson, we will jam out on songs like "The Ants Go marching," "Alice's Camel," "I Love Numbers," "The ABC Blues," "Willoby Wallaby," "The Name Game" and more. Come count and get your alphabet on! Class will start with a singing and movement warmup and then flow into the day's topic I teach virtually with a high energy style, usually incorporating my guitar, ukulele or percussion instruments. Students that fully engage in music making will get the most out of the lessons. I will lead activities by example and coach students through their development of the concepts. Learners will have the opportunity to interact with one another through songs and games. Over the course of several lessons, favorite activities will emerge and learners have the opportunity to request their personal favorites! The guiding mission of this ongoing class is to explore music together through singing, movement and games. No experience required, just a love and desire to explore music and expand upon your natural musical ability!
