ABC Music & Me for 4-6 year olds (without adult)

Spring units will be:

Sing a Story
The Sing a Story unit of ABC Music & Me introduces children to the world of opera. They will meet the Queen of the Night, Papageno, and Papagena, just a few of the colorful characters from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute. At storytime, children will hear a tale of missing tail feathers and witness the hustle and bustle that happens backstage before an opera. They will listen to examples of solos and duets, practice pre-music-reading skills by singing simple two-note patterns, sing, and play a variety of musical instruments. 

Home materials:  Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story Papageno's Feathers)


Sounds Abound
This month, we’ll explore all the sounds we can make with our mouths, bodies, hands, plus everyday objects we can find around the house. Your preschooler develops an early understanding of how one material can be used to make something else. Activities in your Home Kit help you bring these big ideas home when you take part in the listening, turn-taking, and sound-effect making activities. 

Home materials:  Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story If I Had a Big Blue Boat)


Drums, Drums, Drums
This month your child will experience the concept of fractions through hearing and playing quarter and eighth notes. In class we’ll do “call and response” activities to the rhythmic sounds of African music. Meanwhile, your child will sharpen listening and attention skills, as well as fine tune her ear to finding patterns. Play the activities in your Home Kit together, and you’ll help your preschooler develop a strong foundation in math, rhythm and coordination, and critical listening.

Home materials: Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story Drum Circle)


Feel the Music
Expressing thoughts, ideas, and needs to teachers and friends is a necessary skill in school. So in class we’ll help your child learn more about the words that help describe feelings, while learning more about the emotions of others. Your Home Kit includes the same music and stories we’ll be talking about in class to help you open the door to the emotions your preschooler is learning to express.

Home materials: One mini maraca instrument, Home CD, Family Guide (includes class story The Duel)
