Conceptos básicos de música de Smarty Pants: ¿Qué es un ritmo?

If your child loves music they will love this class.  It will be a fun hands-on interactive class.  We will learn some basics in music.  This class will be all about how to keep a beat?  What is a beat? 

  And then keeping a beat in every way we can……We will clap, tap, march, tap…..play instruments…..move ALL awhile keeping a beat!  This is NOT a live class….But I use a very interactive video where  I will guide your child through using the at least 20 min. video and the best part ……you can watch the video as many times as you want!  

No previous music experience is needed.   My teaching style is filled with enthusiasm, kindness and I am very upbeat and engaging.  

The class format will look like this each week

A video of myself singing and teaching what is a beat? …..and how to keep a beat? …..and then keeping a beat together…  It will be hands on with instruments and moving and singing and the video will have me singing the songs….. encouraging your child to engage with me.   I am very animated and energized so your child will be interactive and participating and I’m just sure your child will LOVE it!!!
