YC1/Week 6/Lesson 6

Dear Young Child 1 Parent:

“Not every child understands from the same learning approach. There are several different approaches for each child. It’s finding the way to teach the material to the child that’s key…”*

This week’s class offered a diverse array of musical experiences—from aurally identifying percussion instruments to playing instruments on a musical cue, from listening to sounds of nature to visually recognizing a new music notation symbol, and from singing songs to playing movement games. Through various learning modes, several musical concepts were introduced and learned. Each Kindermusik classroom is likely to include children with different learning styles. For example, some children learn best when a concept is introduced visually, some through aural introduction, and some through movement. Each and every Kindermusik class incorporates several learning modes, making learning accessible to each and every child!

As your child completes the Music at Home 6 activities this week, encourage his individuality! See you next week.
