Keep singing the songs!Class Experience
This one-time class will be FUN, engaging and we will sing and talk about SNOW! We will learn about activities we can do in the snow. We will learn songs to simple tunes all about shovelling, walking in the snow, building snowmen and skating. We will start with a hello song using each child’s name and then we will keep it moving as we sing, play instruments (everything in your kitchen cupboard) and act out stories about having fun in the snow. We will learn musical concepts such as fast and slow, how to keep a beat and will also learn big words such as accelerando and ritardando. I am an enthusiastic, kind teacher that loves to make music and have fun in music class. No previous music experience needed! Songs will include: Winter Walk Snow Shovel Skating Snowman
Learning Goals
We will learn songs about the snow and how we can play in the snow. We will learn how to keep a fast and slow beat. We will even learn the Italian musical words for getting faster (accelerando) and getting slower (ritardando)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Greenville University
Hello prospective parents and guardians! My name is Mrs. Carol. I live in Canada.
I have my B.A. in music specifically Vocal, as well as ORFF (rhythmic based method of teaching music) training. I have been teaching music for 25+ years. I have created and taught an early years music program in Montessori schools. I have taught voice, piano, early childhood music in my own studio, as well as teaching for several summers at a symphony music camp teaching the ORFF method.
Studies have shown that engaging in music classes from a young age can make you smarter in reading and math! Early years music classes can set you up to learn an instrument, but even more than that it can set you up for a life long love and appreciation for music.
Through singing, simple instruments (don’t worry, your kitchen cupboard has all you need for class) and movement, your child will learn skills such as listening, focusing, taking turns and all the while having a whole lot of “hands-on” fun making music.
My classes will be engaging, inclusive and will aim to ignite the JOY of music-making. I will be using the curriculum Smarty Pants Music that I created after teaching young children for many years.
My husband, who is also musical, and I have been married for 34 years. We have a daughter and son-in-law and I am a proud “Mammie” to 2 exceptional, beautiful grandchildren, Amos and Anna.
I hope to see your child in my classes so that we can Ignite Joy, Get Smarter and Make Music together!
