Music and Art Classes

-



Thank you for your interest in group music and art classes. Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I'm hopeful that through small group tutorials like this, children will grow and cultivate relationships in person even during the trying times that our country's pandemic has caused.

The state mandate is that students under 12 are not required to wear face masks. As a teacher, I will also not be wearing a face mask but will encourage hand washing, cleanliness, and good hygiene during all our classes. Parents will be required to sign a waiver for our home insurance purposes.

Classes will be filled first come-first served. Please look over the highlights of each class and you can register directly from this form. If you have siblings that you would like in both classes, please register each separately and make a note on the form for the class you would like them to attend together.

(Students that are in grades K-2 will not be able to attend a 3-5 class with a sibling, but a 3-5 grade sibling can attend the K-2 classes.)

MUSIC - all grades K-5
This will be a 6 week course on the following dates: THURSDAYS August 27, September 3, September 10, September 17, September 24, October 1.  In these classes, students will enjoy singing folk songs, learning music theory, playing Boomwhackers, and exploring movement and music with dance and improvisation. We will have class outdoors as the weather allows but will also have space indoors for various activities. $80 total for all 6 classes. 90 minutes 3pm-4:30 on Thursdays.

Community dancing is such a wonderful activity for all ages!  I have seen the question pop up in many homeschool groups about suggestions for resources to teach folk dances so I want to share some of my favorites from teaching music and dance to elementary students in public school and our homeschool groups!  If you have the opportunity to find a group already in place to attend and learn dances and observe how they teach you will have a better understanding of how to approach this in a group setting!  You may feel like at the beginning like you are herding a bunch of cats but that's ok!!!  Practice and consistency will improve the process!

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! My favorite clinicians for children's choir exercises are Henry Leck and Jay Althouse This is al...
