Developmental tools

One of the things Kindermusik likes to talk about is how you can support development with objects you can find all around you. This term...from mirrors to what's in your backyard to what's in your kitchen. I will be posting here ideas we are working on in class that you can continue at home. Who’s that in the mirror?? We may be looking into mirrors as we dress up for a variety of events (especially this time of year). But for littles mirrors have so many long term daily bene

When it’s too much

Do you ever feel like the weights keep coming down on our shoulder? Me too. I saw so many parenting & teaching posts today talking about the feeling like we can’t get a break from the bad news & anxieties - it’s all just too much to bare.

Everyone sing

Song and music can help with so much!! Singing is something for everyone - It’s a tool for joy, learning, transition, connection, motivation, so much more! @kindermusikbysally is a safe space not just for the children but also caregivers to feel free to be, move, play, and sing. Come sing with us! One article that talks about the power of song is at PBS kids https://snip.ly/1rwqob?fbclid=IwAR24Cnk_miyZvKSqwDALeYmHr1SPKzF7TgY4BHG7_xY7A8MFWr-hwli3ffc#https://www.pbs.org/paren

What we do to inspire & prepare

Review of another activity we do regularly. Earlier this month we listened to jazz piano (like you hear in Charle Brown), played the floor piano using our feet, and used spider fingers on the acoustic piano. Piano/keyboard repeatedly explored to learn proper touch/hand placement and as a physical & visual for musical concepts & theory. The structure of the piano is also easily linked to other barred & keyboard instruments which we move through throughout the year often rela

Clapping Connection!

This month we have highlighted a clapping game in our family classes. Clapping is mind-body connection, left side-right side connection, emotional to physical connection, person to person connection, rhythmic connection. All that connection in one simple (not so simple) activity. Come clap with us @kindermusikbysally #discoverymeadowstudio #kindermusikbysallycommunity #clappinggames #mindbodyconnections #parentchildconnection #babybraindevelopment #childdevelopment #earlychil
