Musical Mornings

Last week, we had the honour of hosting "Blues in the School". For an hour every morning, all the children (JK-8) were invited to attend these lively assemblies lead by local blues musicians. We consider these opportunities a gift and we jump at every opportunity to be exposed to different genres of music!

Back in December, we were entertained by a couple of local high school bands (concert, stage & jazz). This performance inspired a fun centre which we set up in our kindergarten foyer.

The children counted out time signatures and played away!

Their interest even transferred over to writing music of their own!

The "Blues in the School" assemblies inspired some of the children to make keyboards, on which they demonstrated their knowledge of dynamics (volume ranging from a whisper to a holler) and tempo (speed of the music).

Black paper, white paper, scissors and glue. Look at the keyboard, what can you do?

Thanks for stopping by the atelier!
