For the past few weeks in music we have been singing about the weather - sun, rain, clouds, thunder, wind and soon, snow. We have been listening to the music of Vivaldi (Summer and winter from the Four Seasons) and Debussy (Voiles, Le fille aux cheveux de lin). In the Vivaldi the children learned to pick out the background "raindrops" which are much softer than the violin solo. We had a magical moment one morning, as the children laid on their backs, closed their eyes and imagined Debussy's clouds floating by.
Although we have moved on in music class from our "New Friends and Old Friends" unit, it is never too late to sing about our friends. Here are the words to a song your child may be singing at home:
Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver and the other, gold
Susannë
