Journey Montessori April 7

Today we talked about high and low sounds in a variety of songs. We started using icons to identify when the music was high or low. Using icons such as simple lines is a first step to reading real notation. As you listen to music with your children ask them if they can identify high sounds, low sounds, and what instruments they hear playing. The children are getting very good at identifying key instruments and musical components.
Our Carnival of the Animals piece for today was the Fossils! We heard instruments from the string family, the clarinet from the woodwind family, and the piano and xylophone from the percussion family. Watch the video below with your child so they can see all of these instruments playing. We also heard the familiar tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" hidden in the middle of the piece (listen for the piano to play it around 1:19)!
