Great job singing parts on Bells of Westminster in class.  Singing in parts for your children is a great for their developing musical ears!  Playing the bells helps the children's tonal development by reinforcing the tonic and dominant pitches.  It helps rhythmic development when we play on the microbeat, steady beat and macrobeat on the bells.  Accurately hitting the bell with the mallet helps your child's hand eye coordination.  And the mallets are great to teeth on!

We played with audiation (the ability to hear the music in your head) with the song "Rhythm's and Rhyme's." Now that the chant is more familiar it is easier to audiate.

Does your child echo you if you sing like we did in class with Lukey's Boat and Me, You, We?  If you haven't tried it at home I encourage you to give it a try this week.  I have a great time singing back and forth with my kids in the car that way!

This week in class our play along was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.  Click the link below to enjoy it at home.  Mary Poppins is a fantastic Disney movie full of fabulous songs.
