In Class and At Home: Pre-Ensemble Development
In Class and At Home: Pre-Ensemble Development One of the wonderful benefits of doing Kindermusik in the early years is that it gives your child the unique opportunity to develop and practice the skills that are required to be part of a musical group in the future. This pre-ensemble development happens very naturally and joyfully as we develop skills like distinguishing between sounds, listening for the appropriate entrance, timing the participation, accomplishing the steady-beat play with an outside source, and playing instruments with others. Try THIS at Home! Even the youngest children can experience ensemble, whether it’s in Kindermusik class or it’s just the two of you at home tapping on the pots and pans. You might even enjoy putting together a Family Jam, a time when the whole family grabs something to tap, shake, or jingle as you all play-along to a recording or a song you’re singing.
