Our kids have finished their first year of Let's Play Music! Mrs. Kim had the kids do a recital so they could show off all they have learned. It was ADORABLE!
Mrs. Kim has four classes and the oldest kids are Tyson and Taylor's class, so the kids age ranges are from 4-7. Mrs. Kim is a very brave and patient person!Our entire class except for Sunny (who was sick) is on the scale on the ground. They sung the Do Re Mi song and stepped up the staff with their feet while signing their Solfeggio hand signs. I didn't even know what Solfeggio hand signs were 8 months ago.
The biggest surprise about this whole class is how good of a singer my boy is! He can match pitch and has really caught onto a lot of the music concepts he has been introduced to.
Each child has bells that they practice on at home and our class preformed the "Dinosaur Song". It's pretty complicated and our kids did great.
Taylor's big job of the night was to hold the Ti Re Sol triangle chord up. She did excellent :)
Each child got a certificate with their name on it showing that they completed their first year.
We did two semesters, the first was red balloons and the second was blue bugs. Let's Play Music teaches intricate music concepts in very easy for kids to understand ways. The balloons taught the kids how sound goes up and down. The bugs taught the kids timing by clapping to the names of different bugs. They also learned tons of other things, the other day my Mom was watching the kids and Tyson heard a song on TV and commented to my Mom, "That song sounds very minor to me". She is a piano teacher and was really surprised by his comment.
Next we are on to green turtle shells and learning to play keyboards! I can't wait!!
This class sounds like so much fun. Adorable about Tysons "sounds very minor" comment, although I have no idea what he is talking about!
