February 2009: Schumann and Brahms

In February we learned the special musical words for fast (allegro) and slow (adagio). This was a month with lots of activity. I think the children went home class exhausted! We listened to the music of Schumann and Brahms.



Doing a song about clapping.
Moving slowly like turtles.

Getting ready to follow our listening map to "Hungarian Dance" by Brahms.


Jumping like rabbits from square to square.

Balance beam while listening to our balance beam song.

Playing "London Bridge". This was more of a hit than a thought it would be. We had to do it multiple times.

Getting instruments ready to follow the listening map.

Nursery Rhyme song books.


Making popcorn sheep on our farm day. We listened to Schumann's "Happy Farmer".

Friday class following the map to Brahms, "Hungarian Dance"
