Music Mondays…shake, pluck and play!
Monday’s summer music class is all about discovery, play and…of course…music!
Meet our friend, Mike the Musical Monster. Monsters tend to keep a strange diet, and our friend Mike is no different. Rather than eating something physical like food or objects, he survives and thrives off the sweet melodies and musical rhythms we feed him! Yum yum yum!
Every Monday, Mike sends us on a different mission. Each one inevitably leads to his big musical appetite being satisfied. Phew! Thanks to all his musical friends who are willing to travel the world, make tin can shakers, tissue box ukuleles, go on quests to retrieve special instruments, and even leave the daycare for musical field trips to feed Mike’s veracious musical appetite! But Mondays aren’t just for Mike, they’re also all about expanding our own self-expression through music, learning about tone and rhythm through play, and developing an appreciation for the amazing diversity of music around the world! |
Don’t miss these special dates:
July 25: Musical Field Trip to Granville Island – a mission to find as many different musical performers as we can!
August 8: Special Guest Visitor – Kesseke Yeo, a fantastic musician and performer from the Ivory Coast will have us drumming and dancing!
August 22: Musical Field Trip to Long and McQuade to learn about some instruments that Mike’s never tried before!
Mike and I are looking forward to making music with you Monday afternoons this summer!
