Beatboxing Flute

This is such a fun time in Kindermusik for the Young Child 2 class. We now have the cards for all the instruments of the orchestra. The four families: Percussion, Brass, String and Woodwind families....And we bring all this together with the story of Peter and the Wolf. Here's a wild and wonderful way to look at the music of Peter and the Wolf all on the flute, my favorite instrument!

I often ask which instrument the children are dreaming of playing in a couple years. Piano? Violin? Flute? Guitar? Tuba? Harp? I think it's important to encourage them to dream about this. Besides being an important cognitive activity, playing an instrument through high school is such a wonderful way to have a safe and fun social group.

I encourage families to take their young children to live music concerts as often as possible, even before they start taking those piano lessons. Talk about "what's their favorite instrument" and that "after Kindermusik they will take lessons" as if it was just what everyone does....They won't skip a beat!

You've made a great investment in Kindermusik. Many local private music teachers report back to me that they absolutely love Kindermusik Graduates! They just fly through those first couple books. I say of course! We didn't have to learn what a quarter note was while sitting still on a piano bench. We jumped them and danced them into knowing! Now at their first piano lesson they are already making music!
Who knows where they will go from there! What a start.
Love,
