Red Balloons Lesson 14

Next week is our last class of the semester and PARENT DAY. The kids love showing off what they have learned to their parents!

This lesson was the 2nd to last lesson of the semester!! Can you believe it? It went by so quickly. Watch out for when your Blue Bugs music shows up on your app. You are encouraged to start listening to this music and preparing for our Blue Bugs class that will start in January.

There is NOTHING you need to do to register for Blue Bugs in January – you are already registered. The only thing you do is make sure your child doesn’t forget what they’ve learned over break and get them pumped for Blue Bugs! Tuition for next semester will be the same as this semester and I will send email invoices at the end of December.

If you have a 0-4 year old child you’d like to register in Sound Beginnings, registration for Spring semester Silver Buttons classes is open now. The popular class days/times are filling up fast, so don’t delay. Contact me or visit bit.ly/JMenroll for more details.

Let’s Play Music

Today in our Let’s Play Music song, we learned what MI RE DO & SOL SOL DO look like when written on the staff. The word “notation” means to place the notes how they are written on the staff.

Waltz of the Flowers

We had fun playing along with our classical music in class today. We played the triangle at the appropriate part during Waltz of the Flowers to help our kiddos hear when that theme plays. Teaching the students to listen and identify different instruments and themes, increases their ear sensitivity and opens them up to hearing other individual sounds.

Here’s a bit of JINGLE BELLS fun for all you basketball fans! Just imagine how well these players must anticipate the hang time of the basketballs to judge when to shoot in order to ring the hoop-bells in time with the song.

For my convenience, I have preloaded content for the whole semester. I will update each future post with specific time-sensitive info before I send the link each week. If you choose to read ahead you might see details that don’t apply to your child’s class. For this reason I do not recommend reading ahead. Thank you!
