Sing-Along and Learn (For Children ages 2-6)
Julie Gussaroff
In this 30-35 minute assembly children will sing and dance and participate in music. While using a balanced collection of familiar children's songs and movement activities Julie will engage the children to learn aspects of music like melody and rhythm. They will also learn about American Folk Music and Traditional genres as well as addressing the importance of sharing and working together. Music increases creativity, imagination, and a zest for learning. The more they hear and participate the greater the likelihood they will develop an interest in learning music as they grow into adulthood.
