Young Child/Semester 1/Week 5/Lesson 5
Dear Young Child 1 Parent:
“Ta ta ta sh, ta ta ta sh, ta ta ta sh, ta ta ta sh…” This is the first of many rhythmic patterns your child will learn to recognize. The repetitive pattern includes three beats followed by a rest (beat of silence). The children especially enjoyed our “tiptoe” game of “Into the Woods” in which they repeatedly chanted the rhythmic pattern. (Ask your child whom we encountered!)
Recognizing and being able to reproduce rhythmic patterns is one facet of musical ability, and developing your child’s musical ability is the primary goal of Kindermusik for the Young Child. I’m sure you will be interested to know that research has shown a strong correlation between musical abilities in young children (particularly the ability to match vocal pitches and reproduce rhythmic patterns) and abstract reasoning. Just one of the many reasons that enrolling in this class was the right thing to do!
