We begin every early childhood music class by exploring instruments: How do you play that? What does it sounds like? What are some other ways you can play the instrument? Can you play it standing up, walking around, marching? What about playing with others? Can we make a band?
These are some of the questions I might ask students during their exploration time. I also sit back and watch them make their own discoveries and see what magical and wonderfully creative ways they come up with to engage with the instruments and one another. It's a super-fantastic time and a great way to settle into the music room, helping our youngest students gear up for making and exploring music and sound.
