It’s Sunday, and I missed sharing these resources with you yesterday as Saturday is our Music class. Even though I am late Charlie would like to learn to play the Guitar, and he has a guitar he received for Christmas a couple years ago
I may sign Charlie up for this class if David says its ok. As I was setting aside this email to share with David, I thought you might like to check out these music opportunities you can share with your children.
When you get to the site you’ll see the Elementary Songbook Music Catalog with a menu of traditional children’s music and folk song titles that include:
- “A Tisket, A Tasket”
- “Bingo”
- “Buffalo Gals”
- “Down By the Bay”
- “Going to the Zoo”
- “If You’re Happy”
- “Old MacDonald”
- “Take Me Out To the Ball Game”
- “You Are My Sunshine”
- “Yankee Doodle”
And many more titles that you’re sure to recognize.
Plus, you’ll find a menu of Movement/Dance Options that include free, printable instructions for folk dances you can do as you listen to the songs. You’ll discover:
- A pure line dance in a middle eastern style
- A couple of dance after the style of French Canadian step dancing
- A simple circle dance in the style of “big circle mountain” dancing
- A contemporary American country line dance for sets of 3
- A Latin American line dance popular at Carnival
- A circle dance adaptation of traditional Native American style
- A square dance in traditional formation
- A simple variation of the traditional Virginia reel in long sets
Thank you,
