WOW!  It has been a fun few months with these little Musicians!  These 4-6yr olds are AMAZING!  I think it's the perfect age to soak in all this great music information.  Here is a list of everything they have learned so far!! 

Take a look at everything we have been learning and ask your Little Musician about these!...

Rhythm– Fast and slow beats

Quarter Note gets 1 count

Half Note gets 2 counts

Dotted Half Note gets 3 counts

Whole Note gets 4 counts

Movement-  How different music makes us FEEL. 

Music is great for imaginative play!  The kids LOVE  dancing with the raffia sticks!

Dynamics– Loud and Soft sounds

you may have heard about our “two little music birds sitting on a cloud...one named soft, one named LOUD!"

Forte means LOUD

Piano means soft

Finger Numbers– Did you know playing an instrument requires numbering your fingers?! 

“THUMBS are Number 1” 

Staccato & Legato– Bumpy and Smooth

Note Names– We have just started learning the piano key names! 

In the next few weeks we will be learning about…


Piano Keys Names

Different Instruments

The Treble Clef and Bass Clef

Music Tempo

Keep it up Little Musicians!  :)
