Twelve weeks of fun-packed music activities for the Early Childhood Environment featuring the Instrument Families of the Orchestra.

 

I have offered this series of lessons to young children for many years now and it is always greatly loved by the children (and me!)  When you offer these lessons to the children in the Autumn, they are ready for the wonderful Winter Orchestral Performances that are geared to children, in particular Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite."

​

                            We will be exploring the 4 Instrument Families of the Orchestra:

                           ~ Brass

                               Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, and Tuba

                           ~ Strings

                               Violin, Viola, Cello, and Upright Bass

                           ~ Woodwinds

                               Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon

                           ~ Percussion 

                              Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Timpani, Piano, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, and

                              various rhythm instruments 

                           I will be relating these topics to specific Famous Composers, as well as Basic

                           Music Concepts, such as Tempo, Dynamics,and Pitch.

​

Along with my video demonstrations, you will receive pdf Downloads of the Lesson Plans, Visuals for circle time, Templates for children's shelf work, and mp3 Music Downloads for Movement Activities & Focused Listening Excerpts to illustrate the instruments being features.
