Music with Teacher Wendy

Music is so important to a child....they become little sponges when you sing songs with them or introduce them to concepts through music. Even though I sing with the kids through out the day, we have a wonderful music teacher named Wendy who has volunteered her time to come and teach the kids music. She has taught the kids twice already and we have her booked for every Thursday in October (with the exception of the last Thursday).

Wendy's classes are fun and interactive. The kids are learning about how sounds can be HIGH and sounds can be LOW and she lets them play the keys on the piano to find the high and low sounds. Through games and songs she is also teaching them FORTE (loud) and PIANO (soft) sounds. We are so happy to have Teacher Wendy with us!

Through Wendy's years of experience in teaching kids music, she is also undertaking the project of teaching our kids songs to sing for Easter as a concert at church. Her first song is "All Creatures of Our God and King" which happens to be one of my favorites. I was very excited to see that she is teaching our kids such a wonderful hymn. Here is a video of "All Creatures of Our God and King" as performed by David Crowder. The music in Wendy's version is a bit different, but all the words are the same. If you would like to listen to this song with your child or would like a copy of the music just let me know at school. The more your child listens to the song, the easier time they will have learning it. We have lots of time before Easter, but listening to the song and learning it won't hurt a bit ;)
