Music provides beauty
and a way to express
ourselves. Music has a powerful impact on children's
growth and development. There is more to music than boring practice
times!
Music has been a huge part of
my life. At 4 years of age, I began singing duets with my brother. Then
followed years of musicals, church ensembles and choirs, piano, voice, and
guitar lessons.
My own daughters began violin
lessons at 3 years of age. So I began my journey of being a music mom. I have
watched music give them confidence and grace in every aspect of their lives.
Music has always been a part of our
homeschooling family.
I teach music to preschool
students all the way up to adults including students with special needs. My
classes include general music as well as piano, voice, guitar and beginning
violin.
Rhythms, body movement, call
and response, and singing on pitch are all important parts of early music
training.
Music theory and musical notation is important in mastering an instrument.
My oldest daughter, Rachel, and I are writing this blog to provide parents and teachers ideas and techniques they can use to cultivate the love of music in their students. We want people to love music and use it as a way of expressing their feelings and emotions.
