Can you feel the rhythm of the land?

My daughter Beatrice with favored niece Sylvie Paige in Young Child class

Ti Ti Ta!

Does that phrase make sense to you? It certainly does to the 5 through 7 year olds in our Kindermusik Rhythm of the Lands class.  These kids know their eighth notes (we call them ti ti) and quarter notes (ta) and can sing the phrase, tap it, and even play it on the glockenspiel.  Talented genius children!  (Yes, I'm a little biased because my daughter Beatrice is in the class, and can Ti Ti Ta with the best of them).  While we did some native American drumming, the students also learned to sing a song with overlapping parts- they did some "grinding corn" while Miss Lindsay sang the descant.

We have many Kindermusik "graduates" that have gone on to become great musicians- look for upcoming blogs featuring these kids!
