幼稚園・保育園の音楽クラス

In this Music class, students will strengthen various musical concepts, while singing, tapping rhythms, playing bells, playing games, and storytelling!  

The class structure may look something like this: A "Welcome" song; Vocal warmups; a rhythmic concept for sight singing music; learn a note and play the bells with that note; play a game; read a story; sing the "Goodbye Song" (not in this particular order). 

Concepts will include:
Note reading
Solfege and Hand Signs
Nursery Rhymes
Songs/Chants
Beat vs Rhythm
Types of voices
Matching pitch
Highs and lows
Fast and slows within music, and more!

Weekly Concepts:*
1st Week (8/22): Introduction to Singing and Rhythm
2nd Week (8/29): Intro to C or Do
3rd Week (9/5): Vocal Warmups 
4th Week (9/12): Intro to D or Re

*Weekly concepts may change. Bells will need to be purchased for this to play the songs in each key.  There is also an App with the Bells that can be download on Apple Products for free.

Note: Students may need to be muted while we are singing/listening to songs or music books. Various opportunities are given for learners to participate out loud, and will be asked to unmute at different times during class. Ideally, parents should be close by to assist, but are not allowed on screen.

The books that are read are singing books, focus on learning Solfege (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do).  Examples are So-Mi Books are "So-Mi in Space," and “So-Mi Meets the Boss.”

We follow the Preschool Prodigies Music Curriculum as well as the MusicPlayOnline Curriculum.  This class includes videos that will be played within this class to follow along with (see sources).

Please email me if you'd like to request a time for this class. 

No previous skills are needed.

This is an ongoing class, and students may enroll at any time, and most topics that are taught are new.  I use a full year (August through May) preschool Music Curriculum, and previous concepts may also be re-introduced each week.
