Music
Welcome to Li'l Peeps music page!
Each Li'l Peeps class receives 30 minutes of music each week. The emphasis is on fun!
Our musical activities include singing, dancing, playing instruments, intro to hand bells, acting out songs, and learning sign language.
The children are introduced to different genres of music including folk, swing, gospel, rock, bluegrass, polka, zydeco, jazz, latin, blues, classical, country, and African rhythms.
We prepare for and perform 2 music programs during the year, including a Christmas program and Spring program. Music is also a part of our special Holiday celebrations and family nights including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter HOP, Mother's Day tea, and PJ night.
Our music program is based on Edwin E. Gordon's Music Learning Theory for Young Children. This theory is based on the belief that the early childhood years of life (ages birth to 5 years) are profoundly important to a child's musical development. A child's musical experience at this age determines achievement in music as an adult.
"There is music in every child. The teacher's job is to find it and nurture it." ~Frances Clark
