______________________________________
In 'Hello Weather, Let's play Together!', Preschoolers and their families
meet an approaching thunderstorm, swirling wind gusts, flaky snowflakes and
bright sunny skies that elicit more imaginative play and discovery than a day
can possibly hold. They will:
- Listen to musical wind, rain, snow and a storm;
to handbells ringing and children singing; to a listening puzzle with moving
interchangeable pieces and sounds; to Beethoven and the sounds of the Chinese
language as they compare and contrast sounds and songs.
- Sing the pitter-patter and drip, drip, drip drop
of musical rain. Crow rooster sounds. Create the "Boom Bang" of
thunder and the "Zig Zag" of lightning while playing passionately
on drums.
- Gallop to Grandma's with their Kindermusik Ankle
Bells and shake their Kindermusik Rain Shakers as they dash through the windy
rain. Experience the feel of legato and staccato in the "Weggis Dance"
and the changing tempi of "Head and Shoulders".
- Make homemade wind chimes, rain hats and snow
boots that encourage the creator within each and every preschooler and bring
out an ongoing anticipation of what each day's weather forecast means for
musical learning.
'Hello Weather' brings more good reasons for Kindermusik families
to turn off the television, turn on the music and welcome the wind, snow, sun
and rain into their day together!
