These are words your children may be chanting after class this week.
I have found a music resource that I absolutely LOVE! It's called Music Mind Games by Michiko Yurko. While searching for a game to teach a musical concept one week, I stumbled upon her website. Imagine my excitement when I found this treasure trove of ideas for how I love to teach best - through games!!! Proven games that she has used over 40 years, trained others internationally to use, created materials to use, and written books to share. Games designed to challenge the studen'ts mind as they grow in knowledge and confidence. I am so excited to start using this for our theory time!
The younger students continued creating their model orchestra. We are now ready to place them on "the stage". I will try and remember to post pictures when it is finished. For the older class, we continued the Mozart lapbook and listened to his 12 Variations in C (also known as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star).
I will send out information about field trips later this week. Also, if you are planning on sending your student to music camp, let me know. Right now the first week of Musical Olympics is the only one close to full.
Have a great week!
