Future teacher alert!
Today's classes were fun and we got a lot accomplished in a half an hour! We started with our check-in, vocal warm ups, the major scale, the game "Up, Down, or the Same," and we worked our way through our first song, "Snowman Joe." The game "Up, Down, or the Same" was quite challenging for my older group, so I decided to leave it out for my younger group. This gave us more time to focus on the song at the end. A highlight from the classes was when one student was having a hard time figuring out how to "trill" her lips, and another student in the class gave her some great advice. She said to pretend like she was cold and do the "brrr" action (crossing your arms to keep warm). It helped her a lot, and it was lovely to witness another child teach her friend. Perhaps there's a future teacher in our midst!
