Fiddle Week Seven – 12
Hello - E
PE: Who knew that Music Together is a four-year program designed to develop a child’s Basic Music Competence and that there are NINE different CD song collections over those four years? BMC is being able to sing in tune and keep a beat in your body and we want to provide a rich musical environment for this to happen. Think of how children learn to speak their language. We wouldn’t make them sit down and read or write their language before they had mastered the basics of speaking it. Music Together is providing you and your family the opportunity to become fluent speakers of the language of music before you progress to learning how to read and write that language. And kids under five learn any language best through immersion, play, observation and experimentation in a language environment rich with variety. So let’s get busy speaking music! J
