A cute story one of my piano student's parent shared with me:

I just had to tell you this. We were walking along in the grocery store yesterday w/ music on in the background. Ian said he liked it because it made him think of … I don't remember what he said exactly but something descriptive like flowers in a forest when the spring breeze was blowing, etc. Then he says, "Remember when I couldn't do that? Ms. Emily would play music and ask if we pictured anything, and I would say, 'No,' but now she's taught me and I've learned how to picture things."

(Ian has had 7 months of piano lessons with the Play-a-Story program.)

from http://mindsonmusic.kindermusik.com/early-literacy-and-language/5-early-literacy-christmas-activities/

5 early literacy Christmas activities

Mother Goose could well be called the Mother of Early Literacy. “Hey Diddle, Diddle,” “Little Miss Muffet,” and other nursery rhymes support early literacy by building phonemic awareness through experiences that recognize, repeat, and predict rhymes. Rhyming word play contributes to phonemic awareness as children begin to hear the differences and similarities between words like “moon” and “spoon” and “muffet” and “tuffet.”



Along with favorites from Mother Goose, this holiday season add a penguin to your early literacy activities with Penguin’s Christmas Gift. This story download, created by Kindermusik International, combines rhymes with active listening as children hear the story of a tiny penguin who turns an ordinary tree into an extraordinary one for an extra special Christmas at the zoo.

Up in the Sky- Lesson 1

Play CD Track 17 and use
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"   as either a calming song, or as a great sing-along!   If you happen to be out one night, take a moment to look up into the sky and ask your child if he can see any stars!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, 
How I wonder what you are. 
Up above the word so high, 
Like a diamond in the sky. 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, 
How I wonder what you are. 

It is important to let the brain and body be still and process all it has learned in class, and also throughout the day!  Help your child learn how to relax by playing soothing music for him to simply enjoy and listen without doing anything else.

ABC Music & Me, created by Kindermusik International

 
Home  - Lesson 1

Read "Where Do You Live?" aloud or play Track 2 on your Home CD as you make the accompanying motions. Your child may remember some of the words and motions.

Where Do You Live?  
Pairing motions with the words of simple poems and songs helps children to visualize and understand the stories and poems they are hearing. As the words are said aloud, the children hear them, see them represented, and act them out. This aural, visual, and kinesthetic approach encourages mental imaging and allows for more permanent learning.
