MusicBee Academy: Kindermusik OurTime Feedle-dee-dee Week 9

Testimony

The results of Kindermusik extend beyond the weekly session. Archer has found his love for music through Kindermusik. He has become more engaged in activities that require joint attention. He would also initiate family members to join him in jumping and playing when his Kindermusik CD is played. The music and activities have stimulated Archer to be more aware of and involved with his surroundings. Kindermusik has made Archer a happier kid and me a proud mother. ~ Constance Wun, mother of three year-old Archer

Kindermusik OurTime Feedle-dee-dee Week 9

I hope you have been listening to your Home CDs over the past few weeks. If you have, you have heard a variety of instruments and vocalists, musical styles, and arrangements. Your Kindermusik CDs offer the highest quality in children’s music by including folk songs (Hush, Little Baby), traditional children’s songs (All My Little Ducklings), music of many cultures (Usagi, Usagi from Japan and Bangara Dance from India), interactive tracks, and more. Enjoy your CDs this week by:
listening to Home CD 2, track 12, Donkey Braying,
playing an echo game with Home CD 2, track 13, Donkey Sounds, and then
singing along with Home CD 2, track 14, Sweetly Sings the Donkey.

If you’d like to know more about the music or activities we share in class, please feel free to drop me an e-mail with your questions.
I look forward to singing with you and your child next week!

Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:

Crescendo: Crescendo is the Italian musical term for a gradual increase in volume. It is one of many expressive elements of music and can serve to add intensity, urgency and excitement to music, regardless of whether the music is sung, played on instruments, or spoken rhythmically.

Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:

Hiding and Finding: Asking a child to hide an object and then find it helps her to discover object permanence. Awareness of object permanenve is the realization that even when something (or someone) is hidden and out of sight, it still exists. This is an important understanding for “bound away and back” toddlers adjusting to the experience of being away from their parents.
