Our Unit of Study: 

Music Making

We are learning about: The Music Making Study

Many of us have fond memories of music. What special music do you associate with important celebrations? What songs from your childhood do you and your child enjoy singing together? Music has a wonderful way of translating across generations, cultures, languages, and communication styles. We are excited to begin a study of music making in our class that will engage and build on children’s curiosity about music, sound, and performance.

How you can incorporate our study at home:

Listen to music throughout the day with your child. Discuss the music that you and your child hear. How does it make each of you feel? Does it sound like any other music you have heard? Talk about favorite music styles and songs with your child and share why you enjoy them. Create a list of your family’s favorite songs.
