Hello Hello ... It's Time to Sing Some Songs!
|
Music Day Hooray! is all about children learning basic concepts, life skills, song theory and movement activities through the wide and diverse world of music.
I, Teacher Davis, want children to have the aforementioned essentials as they grow older, and educating through music is one of the best ways for these lessons to be embedded, as studies have shown. Music Day Hooray! has 15-, 20- and 30-minute classes, which include interactive percussion and original songs with the guitar and another instrument every week. There's plenty of dancing, following directions and learning of musical terms, especially for children ages 4-5. Classic children's songs are performed for infants and toddlers. Other Music Day Hooray! events take place at birthday parties and bookstores in Los Angeles. |
