Children need freedom in a Little Folk's Music class to explore musical
instruments without 'interruptions, that is why drums and jingles are
laid upon the floor while entering a Little Folk's Music class.
Multicultural melody with a constant beat is added as children squeal
with delight!
Sometimes walking with this beat comes naturally while
playing the chosen
instruments. As the musical piece comes
to an ending the ever important and constant, 'Pass it along' song
guides the group in putting away all of the musical props.
The class
gathers into a group at the beginning, with a constant beat the whole
class learns each others name with 'My name is.....' During activities
the children's interest and attention is focused on a specific topic and
communication relates to the task.
These musical activities help
develop listening skills and confidence to speak in groups, develop
social skills.
Little Folk's Music provides musical activities that
encourage communication and sharing. The underlying theme is respect;
the adults respects the individuality of each child, the children are
free to explore.
