As you can see, our Princess for a Day class was filled with Creative Play, Instrument Play, Movement, and music music music!
We pretended to clean the castle by dusting, washing clothes, sweeping, and more.
We decorated our "wands" using stickers and ribbon. We came out of the castle to find many animal friends in the forest (including our favorite, a big black bear!) The butterflies were so very graceful as they floated up and down!

We practiced our Steady Beat using bells, egg shakers, hand movements, full body movement, and locomotor movement. Speaking of Steady Beat, did you know??
One of the first musical skills to develop is the ability to keep a steady beat. Of course the ability to keep a steady beat is essential for future musical experiences, but it is also important in everyday life. Think of all we do that requires regularly paced repeated motion (a sense of steady beat!) – walking, running, riding a bicycle, cutting with scissors, bouncing a ball, playing sports, and more. Music relies on steady beat more than nearly any other activity, making it a perfect skill-builder.
