Beethoven's "Ode To Joy"

This week at Klassical Kids we listened to Beethoven's, "Ode To Joy". What a fun time we had!
We were all about feelings: I read a book to the children about feelings, we 'jumped for joy', we made our own book of feelings. We also learned about quarter notes and how to draw them. The children were fantastic at this! They each got to play their pattern with their rhythm sticks. It is amazing what these kids can do.
Next week will be "Play Day" as we listen to Benjamin Britton's, "Playful Pizzicato".
