Music Together

Our dance this week was "Bounce Me Brother With A Solid Four." Check out this version by the Andrew's Sisters and dance along at home!

March and play along with Mickey Mouse!

Did you know that there are guitar chords in the back of your Music Together book?  If you have a guitar at home try playing Me, You, We, Trot Old Joe, and French Folk Song.  They are fun, easy songs to learn and your kids will love playing along with you!

The lullaby we sang this week was to the tune of "My Lady Wind."  You can find the lyrics we sang in your songbook at the bottom of the page.
My Lady Wind seems to be a very calming song.  It's slow tempo gives the singer plenty of time to take a big breath before each phrase.  When you pause to breathe before singing it it also gives you time to audiate (or hear in your head) what you are about to sing.  Taking this purposeful breath helps your child learn to audiate, which is an important step in their musical development, while helping clam them at the same time.
