Anyone ever heard the fight song for the Miami Dolphins? As a little girl I often put that song on the record player (yes, that dates me) and danced around the room with my sisters and our Annie dolls. We sang at the top of our lungs, "My Annie doll's friends...my Annie dolls friends...my Annie doll is number one...." I'm not really sure why I never wondered why the Annie doll was, "in the air and on the ground and always in control" or what the Super Bowl had to do with anything. All I knew is I was singing and dancing and I was having fun!! And little did I know that I was playing music. That is why I LOVE the Let's Play Music philosophy of fun, fun, fun!!
Children learn most effectively when they are playing! If you were to peek in on a Let’s Play Music class, you would see jumping, singing, skipping, storytelling, and laughing! Music educators have long taught that the young child learns best through play, experience and discovery. As musical concepts and skills are presented in a playful, joyful setting, children absorb knowledge and ability.
And with that, Let's Play Music!
