Let's All Sing
 

32 Fifteen Minute Programs

Grades: Primary
Curriculum: Music

 

 

The purpose of this series is to encourage musical growth. The lessons invite the students to experience the joys of making music and sensitively listening to music. Children are encouraged to sing along, participate in rhythmic movement, and improvise with words, tunes, and simple instruments.


The programs present an appealing variety of songs and instruments, largely selected from our folk heritage. Basic instruction in music concepts is supplemented with materials and experiences generally not available in the classroom.


It is hoped that the total process of preparation, viewing, and follow-up will aid in the development of interest and enthusiasm among the children, which will affect their entire musical life, both in and outside of school. While the programs include the learning of songs, the awareness of tone quality, pitch discrimination, rhythmic sensitivity, rhythmic movement, the demonstration of instruments, improvisation and the like, the philosophy behind Let's All Sing emphasizes the development of musical attitudes as crucial, and of far greater importance than any given unit of information or degree of skill.
