Carolyn's Vlog 2: Pygmy Forest, Pomeranian doggie, Mozart, and Picasso

PREPARATION IS A KEY INGREDIENT FOR SUCCESSFUL MONTESSORI LESSONS 

Carolyn's Vlog 2 from Magical Movement Company.com

Preparing

Welcome to my second Vlog in my Vlogging Series about Music, The Arts, Outdoor Classroom, Kids, Little doggies, and the Pygmy Forest.  Just a few of my most favorite things!

How do you prepare for your day? And especially how do you get inspired for your work with children in the Montessori setting, the Home setting, or wherever you spend time with kids?

Here is my Vlog 2: "Pygmy Forest, Pomeranian doggie, Mozart and Picasso"

 

Often, I need to go out and explore my beautiful neighborhood with my little Pomeranian doggie first thing in the morning and there I find so much inspiration for my work with children. 

CLAY

In this Vlog, we take a walk on my "Pygmy Path" through the unique Pygmy forest near my house. There, walking on the forest floor of hardpan clay, I remember how much I love introducing clay to children. My favorite artist for first experiences with clay is Picasso. (Actually, Picasso is my favorite artist for introducing just about every medium in art to children!)

STEADY BEAT

As well, when we got the rhythm of our walking together, my doggie Gigi reminded me of how the music concept of "Steady Beat" naturally lends itself to the walking rhythm of a quick adventure walk in the morning. We just naturally tend to walk in a steady rhythm and so we find that real experiences effectively lay the foundation for more in depth and formal lessons in music concepts as well as the elements of art.

These activities, "Exploring Steady Beat" with Mozart's music, and "Introducing Clay" with Picasso's Art,  are explained more thoroughly in my Musically Montessori eCourses and my Artfully Montessori eCourse now available at the Trillium Montessori site.

Musically Montessori: "Music Bundle" 

Did you happen to lose touch with your kid students in 2020-21?

As a result of the pandemic, I had lost my bearings in my work and career.

Yes, I did have fun doing Zoom Music classes with some  of the groups I had worked with in person before covid. 

The children were so happy to "see" me again, and I did get the hang of teaching online. That was an interesting process since some of the children were piled up cozy in their beds, some were rolling around on the rug in their living rooms, and some were "glued to their parents' side" as they were still a bit scared of the zoom experience!

Gradually, we all got better at it, and it was always fun. 

Children were using wooden spoons from their kitchens for Rhythm Sticks. Sometimes, we even used tissues as a substitute for movement scarves. It was an ongoing and creative process, and the teachers were so appreciative and excited to give their little "zoomers" some enrichment experiences during those unexpected and sometimes confusing times of online learning.

However, when the kids returned to in-person schooling again, I was not comfortable being in the classrooms of 24-36 young children, and so until recently, I've been a "virtual teacher" for adult educators and I've only had special times when my grandchild, god child, and their little friends have made music with me in- person in my home or theirs.

During the past year, I have been collaborating with the Trillium Montessori team to move all my eCourses over to that site, and it has been a wonderful success! 

In the meantime, I realized that what I really want to do nowadays is work with a small group of local children in the afternoons making music and art, and exploring the outdoor classroom. My three favorite things to do with kids!

ENTER: Montessori Kids Studio

Fortunately, I have my entire music studio with a small Orff Instrumentarium set up in my home. 

Two of my rooms are dedicated to music and art activities for a group of six children in the afternoons. 

I'll be opening up my small program: "Montessori Kids Studio" in late January 2024. 

It has been an exciting new endeavor that gives me a satisfying "purpose" again.

Not that teaching online eCourses isn't giving me a purpose in my work. Actually it is very satisfying...but I  had to face it:

I'VE BEEN MISSING THE KIDS!

I miss the classroom experience with its routine, its "bee hive buzz" and its community of young learners. 

So, I thought I'd start "Vlogging" about my old stand-by Montessori curriculum, my new small home studio setting, and my new ideas for music, the arts, and the outdoor classroom that I have been developing over recent years when I had lots of time to take eCourses and Webinars from some of my favorite creators.  

Now that Trillium is handling my eCourses, I have time to develop more activities for music, the arts and especially the Outdoor Classroom. And, with my adorable Montessori Kids Studio, I have children to try out those activities and give me even more ideas!

I hope you enjoy my Vlog Series, where you can get a little glimpse of how I prepare for my music and art lessons and explore some of the beautiful places in my neighborhood in the Redwoods of Northern California. And you'll meet my sweet little companion, Gigi. My beautiful little Pomeranian doggie that was a gift from my daughter. She loves my little collection of rhythm instruments!

Musically Montessori: Exploring the Orchestra with 3-Part Cards & More

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH OUR MONTESSORI "ALL ABOUT THE ORCHESTRA" 3-PART CARDS TODAY?

Okay...before we do anything with these 3-Part Cards, we want to listen to some orchestra music!

BEGIN WITH CONCRETE, HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES

One of the most important parts of the Montessori method that helps the child succeed in any activity, is beginning with concrete experiences that eventually move the child into a more abstract understanding of a concept.

From Dr Montessori:

"Education is a natural process carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences in the environment." 

In music education, that will most likely begin with hearing live music and making live music, then listening to high quality music recordings, and eventually analyzing what makes up that music.

GO TO A CONCERT!

If you are reading this article in the summer time in your area, then you are very fortunate! Many communities all over the world feature live outdoor orchestral concerts during warm weather, that are often free and fun for families to attend together.

If you are reading this article in the winter time in your area, then you are likely to be able to take your child to an indoor orchestral concert, such as "The Nutcracker Suite," or "The Magic Flute", or  even "Swan Lake" or "Peter & the Wolf." 

So, ideally, children can attend a child-friendly orchestral concert as a wonderful hands-on introduction to The Orchestra. Then, the children have had a real experience with the sounds and excitement of a live performance of an orchestra, before exploring all the things that make up that performance.

MAKE MUSIC!

After hearing an orchestra in person, it's time for the children to make some music of their own. 

Provide high-quality rhythm instruments that a child can easily manipulate and create her own live music. Most every young child will spontaneously tap, or shake, or scrape a rhythm instrument with great joy! I always play along side the children so that they can see how much I, too enjoy making music with them.

Some of my favorite rhythm instruments are:

• Rhythm Sticks
• Finger Cymbals
• Chiquitas (small maracas)
• Single Bells
• Castanets

LISTEN TO RECORDINGS

Listening to orchestra music can be very engaging for young children. 

First, choose pieces that are lively and world-renowned. Famous orchestra music is famous for a reason. People though out the ages love listening to it. And, it is very likely that the children have already heard some of the most famous orchestra music, such as Beethoven's fifth!

Prepare the children by showing them how to sensitize their ears for listening. Rubbing the ears gently around the edges helps the child to focus on listening to the music.

Then, make sure the recorded music is actually orchestra instruments playing rather than synthesized instruments. Recordings of live performances are great, as well as recordings from famous orchestra groups such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra. 

My final rule of thumb is: play short excerpts for the children of no longer than one minute long!

Later, you can also play the recording as a "play-along" activity with the children playing their rhythm instruments.

Some of my favorite recordings are:

• Carnival of Animals, by Camille Saint-Saens
• The Best of Tchaikovsky, by Classical Kids
• Maestro Classics with London Philharmonic Orchestra

 FOCUS ON A CONCEPT

IN THE MUSIC

Children gain more cognitive benefits from early music experiences when the concepts in music are introduced in a playful manner. 

It is fun to listen for the part in the music when the instruments are playing loudly ("Forte") or quietly ("Piano"), or fast ("Presto") and slow ("Largo"). 

Also fun is listening for the Trumpet, or the Violin, and of course, the drums. Kettle drums are especially dynamic and fun!

My groups over the years have so enjoyed learning about the four instrument families: Brass, Strings, Woodwind, and Percussion. And, in the Montessori environment, the children can explore these instrument families in follow-up shelf works that present the families with hands-on, manipulative activities.

MONTESSORI 3-PART CARDS

Recently, I have begun to produce a series of 3-Part Cards that present the Orchestra and the Instrument Families. These materials are derived from my Musically Montessori eCourse, "Instruments of the Orchestra," and I am now making the cards available at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. The first in the series is the "Introduction to the Orchestra." 

CLICK HERE to check them out:

HOW TO ENGAGE CHILDREN WITH THE 3-PART CARDS FOR INTRODUCING THE ORCHESTRA

~ After children have had experiences with listening to authentic Orchestra music (I suggest selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet), then you can invite them to play along with their rhythm instruments to some of the favorite selections. 

Some favorites are:

• "The Russian Dance" is very lively and fun.
• My children love the "Chinese Tea Dance" where the dancers pop out of the giant boxes of tea. 
• Another favorite is "The Spanish Chocolate Dance" with the exciting castanets!

~ Next, during Group Time, you can show children pictures of an Orchestra, the Composer of the music, (example: Tchaikovsky) and other photos such as pictures of:

• A Musician from the Orchestra
• Sheet music
• Music Stand
• Someone composing music
• The Audience
• The Stage
• Performance of a ballet
• The Conductor
• The Conductor's baton
• The Orchestra Pit

~ From this experience, the children can then work with the 3-Part Cards that illustrate the ideas from the above exploration of The Orchestra.

~ After working with the 3-Part Cards, the children can make their own Montessori style Booklet: "My Orchestra Book," based on the pictures from the 3-Part Cards.

EXTENSIONS FOR 3-PART CARDS

1) Set up these as a "Memory Game" and play it with a small group of children

2) Use the 3-Part Cards to build the vocabulary words with the Moveable Alphabet

3) Match the cards over "long distance:" Lay out the set of control cards on the first table. Then place the working cards at another table across the room. Child fetches the matching working cards for each control card and completes the matching work at the first table.

4) Before the children enter the environment, hide the control cards around the room. Bring the children to Circle, and lay out the working cards on a rug and then find the labels and name each picture. Next, invite the children to go on a hunt to find the control cards that are hidden around the room and bring them over to match up with the working cards on the rug.

5) Play a matching game at Circle. Give each child either a Control card or a Working card. Then invite the children to find the person who has the card that matches theirs.

Musically Montessori: Fill In Your Classroom Transition Times with 10 Classical Music Activities!

MARIA MONTESSORI POINTS OUT TO US THAT VERY YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE SUCH SENSITIVE HEARING! THAT'S A GREAT REASON TO BRING CLASSICAL MUSIC TO THEM WHENEVER IT CAN BE SQUEEZED INTO THEIR BUSY DAYS. 

There are those times in the daily routine when children have to wait a few minutes to move on to the next activity. Maybe it's just before lunch or a few minutes before pick-up time...

How about playing a minute or two of music with an emphasis on 

developing listening skills in a fun and enjoyable way? This can be very engaging for young children. 

First, invite the children to stimulate their sense of hearing by gently rubbing the edges of the ears. This helps the children focus on the listening experience and sensitizes the ears.  (Similar to inviting the children to wash the fingers to sensitize them before tracing the Montessori sandpaper letters.)

I've found that with a bit of planning on my part, the little children can have so much fun that they will ask for these experiences over and over again! 

It can easily become a daily occurrence. And, you can extend the activity by adding some rhythm instruments and inviting the children to hear the music again, and this time play along.

Showing a picture of the composer will further enrich the experience! 

Here are ten captivating pieces of music from famous classical composers that I've found to be favorites of the children in my groups over the years. 

I usually play the music for about a minute, so that the children get a sense of the melody and stay engaged. (my "one-minute rule")

TEN ENCHANTING PIECES OF CLASSICAL MUSIC 

THAT CHILDREN WILL ENJOY

You can introduce each music piece by showing  the composer's portrait and then give the vocabulary to the children (ex: "This is a picture of the composer of the music we will be listening to. His name is Beethoven.")

1. "Symphony #5" by Beethoven.

2. "Blue Danube Waltz" by Strauss.

3. "The Russian Dance" from the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky

4. "Suite for Cello Solo: Prelude" by Bach

5. "Spring" from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi

6. "Elephant" from Carnival of Animals by Camille Saint-Saens

7. "Sylvia Ballet Suite" by Delibes

8. "Flight of the Bumble Bee" from The Tale of Tsar Sultan by Rimsky-Korsakov 

9. "Symphony #40" by Mozart

10. "Variations on  Ah Vous Dirai-je Maman" by Mozart as a child

EXTENSIONS: 

CONNECT TO CULTURAL STUDIES

You can do a little research about the composer beforehand and then tie in the continent globe and miniature flags to the continent and country where the composer was born.

MY NEWEST TPT ACTIVITY PACKETS

You might like my series of Musically Montessori: "15 Minute Music" Activity Packets at my TpT Shop.  

There are ten packets, one for each composer:

Musically Montessori: How To Use the Montessori 3-Period Lesson to Develop Listening Skills in Young Children

ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUDITORY DISCRIMINATION AND THOSE ALL-IMPORTANT LISTENING SKILLS IN YOUNG CHILDREN? MUSIC CIRCLE IS A GREAT PLACE TO START!

In the process of creating my third Musically Montessori eCourse, I realized just how often I use the 3-Period Lesson and consequently how noticeably the children in my groups are developing more and more precise listening skills. You can see the Montessori 3-Period Lesson in a "nutshell" at my blog post HERE: "Have you tried the 3-Period Lesson in Your Montessori Music Circle?"

How To Use the Montessori 3-Period Lesson to Develop Listening Skills in Young Children

THE BENEFITS OF AN ORGANIZED MUSIC CURRICULUM FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

"Focused Listening" is always an important part of my Montessori Music Circles, and the children really enjoy this time in our Lesson.  This is also valuable practice in developing auditory discrimination skills. 

Over the months of an organized music curriculum, the children in my groups are now noticing important elements in music during our Focused Listening Activities. These little ones in music class will call out that they hear the trumpet or the violin or even that they heard that the music was "Largo" (slow) or "Presto" (fast) during our Focused Listening Activity. 

I often marvel at the listening skills these Preschoolers have been developing. These youngest of children are such a wonderful example of educated listening and appreciating music with a discerning ear! This is a huge benefit of early music experiences for young children in their cognitive development.

FOCUSED LISTENING AND 

THE MONTESSORI 3-PERIOD LESSON

Here's how I offer experiences for developing auditory discrimination skills through Focused Listening at Music Circle.

For the past several weeks, we have been exploring the four Instrument Families of the Orchestra: Brass, Strings, Woodwinds, and Percussion. (I introduce these families by using the First Period of the Montessori 3-Period Lesson)

After the children have had experience with at least two of the Instrument Families, (ex: The Brass Family and the String Family) then I begin to offer some challenging (and fun!) activities to develop the second and third periods of the Montessori 3-Period Lesson.

~ I begin by showing the children large visuals about the concept of the Lesson, including a picture of the composer, or the country the music is from, and other pictures such as a photo of the instrument being featured. 

Here is how "Focused Listening Activities" go:

1. Prepare the ears for listening:

We rub our ears gently around the edges to get them sensitive for listening

2. Play a music excerpt that illustrates the music concept of the Lesson 

3. The music excerpt should be between 30 seconds and a minute long. This gives the children enough of the music to hear the concept, yet keeping it short, keeps the children engaged. (my "one minute rule" is one of my teaching strategies)

First Period:

• I say, "I am going to play music that features the Cello from the String Family of Instruments."
• I show the children a picture of the Cello.
• Next I say: "This is a picture of the Cello"
• Then I say: "Let's all say 'Cello' together." (children repeat the word with me)
• Finally, I play the music excerpt that features the Cello.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE HERE: I play excerpts of music in which the concept is very obvious. For example, when featuring the Cello, I play music that is only the Cello, so that the children do not get confused. This is an important part of the Montessori method, termed "isolation of difficulty." 

This link is an example of the Cello: "Yo Yo Ma and Unaccompanied Cello Suites Complete."

Second Period:

• On another day, I tell the children: "I am going to play some music for you to listen for one of the instruments from the String Family." 
• I play the excerpt of the Cello that I played for the children in the previous lesson a few days before. (see above)
• Then, I ask the children: "Do you think the instrument in that music was the Trumpet or the Cello?"
• More than likely, the children will answer: "The Cello."
• If the child/ren don't seem to have the concept yet, then I simply go back to the first period and I say: "The instrument in this music was the Cello."

EXTENSION:

You can extend this part of the Lesson by showing two visuals, one of the Trumpet and one of the Cello.

When you ask, "Was that the Trumpet or was that the Cello?" You can show the two pictures and then point to each one and invite the child/ren to indicate which one is the Cello.

From Maria Montessori:

"This second period is the most important of all and comprises the real lesson, the real assistance to the memory and the power of association...If the teacher, however, notices at the very first that a child is not inclined to pay attention to her and makes mistakes in his answers without attempting to do well, she should, instead of correcting him and insisting upon the exercise, suspend the lesson for the time being and start it again at some later time." Discovery of the Child p. 157

Third Period: 

• After lots of practice with the second period of this Lesson, it's time to bring in the third period of the Montessori 3-Period Lesson
• I say: "We're going to listen to some music from the String Family of Instruments. See if you know which instrument is playing in the music."
• Then, I play the selection of the Cello that the children are familiar with. (see above)
• Next, I ask: "What is the name of the instrument being played in that music?" 
• More than likely, the child/ren will answer: 'Cello.'

• Once again, if the child/ren didn't answer correctly, then I simply say: "That was the Cello playing in the music." And, I would show the photo of the Cello.  (returning to the first period) Then, I make a mental note to offer the String Family Cello Focused Listening Lesson again on another day.
