Music Time Term 1 2024
The Great Big Musical Toy Box

Music Time will have lots of laughs and fun as we move from dancing bears, Jack-in-the-boxes, to monkeys to elephants and bunnies and balls and balloons. Using a knowledge base of everyday play things, we focus on fast and slow tempos. We will delight in Bunnies and Elephants – where we think about smooth and bumpy music. This is called Legato and Staccato. We interchange the word: Bumpy with Staccato, and Smooth with Legato so that the children will understand musical language.

​

With our focus on these every day play things, we utilise specific characteristics of them in order to teach the children musical concepts. These concepts then meshed together help develop a child's musicality, and gives them a greater music appreciation in life.
