    Music Activity Ideas for Home

    1. Listen to a good morning song when you wake up or during breakfast. Listening and singing along to the same song every morning gives students an opportunity every day to recognize and begin interacting to a song through repetition.

    -When listening to your favorite music at home clap to the simple steady beat. You can hand over hand clap or stomp with them, as well.
    - Links to YouTube good morning songs (either search for the titles or click the link if able):
    1. The Singing Walrus Good morning song
    2. Greg & Steve - Good Morning

    2. Easy at home instrument making: Easter eggs are readily available right now. Fill them with household objects (beans, rice, pasta, beads, etc.) and tape them shut. You can also decorate them with permanent markers or decorative tape. Use these “shakey eggs” to experiment with the different sounds the different objects inside make. Use them to shake along with your favorite music.
    - Listen to and Learn about the ABC’s through a fun song!
    “Reggae ABC song” 

    3. If you have a streaming video service, find musical movies to watch together and take notes on the music.
    Charlie Brown movies are great to showcase Jazz, Fantasia is wonderful classical musical centered movie.

    4. If you have an iPad at home, try these apps:
    o SoundTouch or VideoTouch
