Music Together February 3
/
Unfortunatly I don't have many YouTube links this week but if you liked the polka version of "The Ten Little Indians" that used for our play along today you can get it very cheep with the link below.
Ten Little Indian's is a fun song and it can help with counting and fine motor skills! For older children have them show you how many with their fingers while you sing this song and practice counting forward and backward. Before you count with the song you can practice this fine motor skill together counting slowly. When you count back down you can blast off! 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 BLAST OFF. For those of you interested in having your child start Suzuki violin or piano this is a great beginning for that! Fine motor skills also help with handwriting later on.
I had so much fun jumping and strutting around for our dance today but unfortunately I don't have any kind of link to share for that song. I had a hard time finding it myself. If you really liked it let me know and I'll get you a copy.
For those of you with children age 3 and older who are interested in Suzuki lessons I highly recommend the following.
1. Do the above fine motor skill work.
2. Watch to see if your child is able to keep the beat when drumming, marching, etc.
3. Listen to see is your child is able to sing full songs in tune.
If you are seriously considering Suzuki violin or piano go ahead and get the Suzuki violin or piano book 1 with CD and start listening to it now! The Suzuki method is by ear and that is why it is so wonderful for young children. It is never too early for your child to start listening to the songs they will be performing one day. I can tell you from experience the more you sing the songs the easier they will be able to play one day. Here are some links for recommended Suzuki books and camps!
