What
Twinkle Offers
Following
are some cognitive, physical and spiritual
goals of my course. It is possible to achieve
all of these objectives each class because
we have so much fun in the process of making
music together.
2-3
year olds
-
live singing and guitar to stimulate auditory
and spiritual senses
- use
of scarves to stimulate visual and tactile
senses
- songs,
finger plays and instruments chosen to develop
beat competency
- songs
which encourage sound making
- songs
for controlled gross motor movement
- rhythm
accompanied line work to assist with child’s
mastery of balance
- line
work* to develop a sense of self in space
and facilitate communal cooperation
*”line
work” means literally walking on a line
that is taped to the floor.
