Ms. Emily in Portugal

Music is the same around the world. While in Lisboa, we found a "musical park" area. Ms. Emily is playing the xylophone and triangles in Portugal. (July 2011)

Summer Camp

We did a Mini Summer Music Camp. It was a nice refresher course after First Year and was fun to be with friends!
Music Time...students sang, played songs on the autoharp, and played bells.

Craft Time...rain sticks (that ended up being more like just a shaker.)
The kids enjoyed painting!
Play Time...it was a beautiful day and we ended with a sack race.
Puppet Shows...the last one we did with costumes!
Jingle Bell Anklets...the kids each made their own for Tambourine Train.

We did so much more and ate yummy snacks...I can't wait till the weekly Fall Classes start!

Symposium

The Let's Play Music Symposium was on June 18th in Mesa, Arizona. Teachers came from all over the USA to attend. The weekend was full of trainings, guest speakers, workshops, booths, and more.

I'm so glad I went! It was so much fun and I learned so much in those three days from being with all of the teachers.

We are getting ready for next year... the Second Year students will be on KEYBOARDS!
Last weekend, we assembled all of the stands and stools.
In June, Ms. Emily is going to Arizona to attend the LPM Corporate Training and the annual Symposium. I'm so excited to learn from other teachers!

Recital

We had our Recital on Friday in Fort Collins! The students did great! It was so fun to see how much they have learned in the first year of Let's Play Music!
4:00 pm Class (above)
5:00 pm Class (below)
The students learned over 50 songs this year...each with a musical purpose! Here is an 8 minute video of our Recital....Enjoy!
Next year, these students will continue with Let's Play Music...we will transfer all of the skills they learned this year to playing piano. (The fun & excitement will continue in the Fall!)
