Burgess Bird (2)

Fullscreen capture 662016 103224 PM I'm steadily progressing through my planning for Year 1 and so looking forward to reading Christian all the Burgess Bird stories!  All the compiling also makes me wonder how many of these birds we can actually see in Tennessee!  There is a large community of birders in the area and I'm hoping that the nature center we frequent will have some advice on watching for some of these species! CLICK HERE to download the PDF of photos! If you missed my post the other day, I've compiled the coloring sketches for the birds in the Burgess Bird book in this post!

In my previous posts I've shared a lot of links about the music instruction of singing in Charlotte Mason schools.  You can read Part 1 here, Part 2 here , and today, I'll share a sample lesson of what a MODERN Tonic Sol-fa would look like!  We still use the same types of principles of breaking up a lesson in rhythm training, sight singing, vocal exercises, etc.  Those same principles can be applied using available resources!  And don't forget, the modulator, sight-singing, time, and ear-training concepts can all be covered with the units from Solfa Sofa!!!  Let the work I already did help you out in your lesson planning! Here's what the timetable has to say: Voice Training - 3 minutes This is training the voice with vocal exercises that increase the vocal range of students, develop good diction and vowel placement and singing timbre of the students!
