What Does A MusicChild Class Look Like?

 

Who says music class has to be serious?

 

 

If you’re wondering what a preschool music class looks and sounds like, imagine a room full of smiling, moving, chanting, singing children under the age of 5.

In Miss Joan’s classes we start out our class time by warming up our listening ears and singing voices in many different ways. Sometimes we listen to sounds of nature or sometimes we’ll listen to animal sounds and turn into the animals, as well! Of course, it’s very important for children to move in rhythm, so we get to have “parades” while marching to the beat where we wave to our parents and friends.

Some of the percussion instruments we use are rainsticks, maracas, and rhythm sticks. Not only can we play our instruments, we may turn them into guitars, violins, drums, and the list goes on.
Many times Miss Joan will bring in an actual instrument such as a violin, guitar, or flute so the class may touch the keys, strings, and body of the instrument.
