More than music
Songs for seeds is not only about the music (although their music really rocks). Songs for seeds engages kids all while laying the foundation of early childhood education through musical activities. In each songs for seeds class your child will hear music from a different region of the world, be exposed to a variety of rhythm patterns, and be given the opportunity and space to experiment with singing and playing real instruments. Classes reinforce children’s knowledge of colors and shapes, focus on single digit numbers, and practice counting. Additionally, they highlight animal recognition through animated impressions of their sounds and movements.
Here’s what your child will experience in a songs for seeds class:
- Music Of The World: Every week in class, kids put on their airplane wings and “travel” to a different region of the world. They land right in the middle of a dance party where they hear authentic sounds from the country they are visiting. While dancing to these new rhythms and sounds, they hear hello in the language of that culture. Exposing kids to other cultures through music is one of many ways to help them develop a global mindset. Hearing unique rhythms and listening to a new language within a song also encourages their concentration.
- Picture A Song: Each week the class sings a new, well-known nursery rhyme. During the song, students are given large magnetic, colorful shapes. With these shapes the children assist their teacher in building a mural that best illustrates the nursery rhyme. This creative and engaging activity reinforces shape and color recognition, can act as a precursor to letter writing and counting, fosters verbal communication, and develops sorting skills.
- Animal Wheel: Let’s play the animal wheel is a wacky song for seeds matching game. Children spin a wheel to make a match – the front of one animal with the back of another…a cow/pig, a horse/sheep…moo/oink, neigh/baa, until…hooray! It is a joyful, surprising game for the kids that reinforces a variety of animal sounds and movements. This activity also exposes students to early phonetics, gives an outlet for emotional expression, and practices gross motor skills. Exposing babies to a variety of animals each week also helps them to convey information about the world around them.
- Numbers And Counting: The songs for seeds numbers section is pure magic! During this activity, kids help their teacher find the missing number–a new one each week. Once the missing number is revealed, it gives the teacher the ability to perform a (very silly) magic trick. The trick is followed by a number song that not only reinforces counting and addition, it’s possibly the catchiest song you’ve ever heard. Reinforcing numbers while counting up and down helps kids gain a basic sense of concepts such as greater than/less than or big and small.
- Sing With The Band: Every week, during the sing with the band section, the guitarist offers the microphone to any child who wants to come up and strut their stuff. The goal is to give students an opportunity to build confidence at their own pace. Teachers always let the children guide the flow and direct the fun. When a child sings a song from memory, an incredible process is happening in the brain called audiation, the musical equivalent of thinking in speech. Audiation is a child’s internal realization of music, a cognitive process where the brain gives meaning to musical sounds without hearing the notes playing in the outside world.
