We had a great first day of camp with EMFkids this morning! Here are some of the things we did today:
*Sang and moved to several new songs - it took a little warming up, but by the end of the morning I was happy to see nearly everyone singing along. We're aiming for 100% participation on all our activities.
*Learned about the four families of instruments: brass, woodwind, percussion, and strings. We read a story, listened to and described their sounds, and talked about they are played.
*Visited the woodwind family following an orchestral rehearsal. We got to see and hear a flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn, bassoon, contrabassoon, and clarinet.
*Got to see a flute up close, touch, and play the keys.
*Played rhythm sticks with songs, recorded music, and to create sound effects (a rainstorm)
We have lots of fun activities planned for tomorrow, so get plenty of rest tonight! Please let me or any of the other teachers (Stephanie and Diana) know if you have questions or concerns. We'll look forward to seeing your children in the morning!
