Assessment Suggestions:

Repetition is one of the ways that we learn something well.

Children improve singing on pitch, learn the lyrics and melody better with each repeti-tion.

Children will develop their musicality if you sing, move, play more often!

Keep a list of the songs and activities that you like.

Activity #8: Review last week’s module, or any of the songs you like!

Parents, Teachers and Administration:

Music education is important for children.

Whether in class or at home, keep our children singing, playing, moving,

listening and creating music!
