Rainstorm Activities for Early Childhood Music Lessons Inspired by Teachable Moments
Poole, Harrison Grant
General Music Today, v30 n1 p11-15 Oct 2016
Activities that focus on already familiar concepts are good starting points when designing early childhood music lessons. The author uses teachable moments, a spider in the classroom and a rainstorm, to design interdisciplinary preschool group activities that teach music, math, and science concepts. Dynamics and tempo are the music concepts that are focused on for both of the activities described.
