Music at Del Monte

Music at Mary Bailey House 

As we are coming into Week 9 of music classes, Treefrog students at Mary Bailey House are becoming more confident and familiar with the songs and expectations in class. Every few weeks we learn a new song to add to our repertoire. This week we have started singing One Finger, One Thumb. This is a sequential song that involves moving different body parts when added into the song. Learning songs that include ordering of words helps children understand and recognise patterns, sequences and rhythms which are foundational skills in all academic areas. 

Music at Del Monte

Pitch exploration using balls! 

Bounce it high, bounce it low! Not only is this sort of activity great fun, it also emphasises learning about high or low pitch and the shape of the songs the students are singing. They collaborate with others and increase their coordination, which is a handy skill in musicians where both left and right hands are very important. 

Kindergarten have been learning the songs for Mass and our upcoming liturgies. They match actions to the words which helps them to remember their song words. Great work Kindergarten!
