Assessment Suggestions:

Parents, Teachers and Administration:

Music education is important for children.

Whether in class or at home, keep our children singing, playing, moving,

listening and creating music!

Music IS literacy

Repetition is one of the ways that we learn something

well.

Children improve singing on pitch, learn the lyrics and

melody better with each repetition.

Children will develop their musicality if you sing, move,

play more often!

Keep a list of the songs and activities that you like.

You can easily find any song by using the search

engine on the website.
