Musical
Parenting Tip – Play and create music, together, with your  preschool child!
Why?

  • As
    an equal part in an ensemble, children actively participate in, and guide their
    own learning. 
  • Creating
    music, as a group, allows children time to reflect, compare, make choices,
    express opinions and engage in problem solving activities.
  • Being
    part of an ensemble reinforces musical skills like steady beat, dynamics &
    tempo.
How?

  • Play
    ‘Simon Says!’  Help your child find some
    sticks to play, and follow along for ways your child can experiment and
    discover ways to play.
  • Have
    a family game of ‘Follow the Leader.’ 
    Will you choose seated movements, or traveling movements?  Will you play your instruments quietly, or
    loudly?
