The Musical Alphabet
The Kindergarten class has begun experimenting with creating their own original pieces of music. We are using what I call the “Musical Alphabet” as a tool for the children to create their own 4 beat measures. The Montessori moveable alphabet was the inspiration for this project. Instead of choosing letters to spell words, the children are choosing color coded music notes to create measures.
The children were introduced to the Musical Alphabet this week. After creating their 4 beat measure they play it using an iPad app with corresponding colored bells. Each child will create & write a 4 beat measure which we will arrange in phrases and eventually a whole song!
