A little music group

Part of Vicki's focus while she is at KIDSPACE is music and organising
a little music session with a small group of children. Choosing some songs children are familiar with and a few new ones. When she took the music group Vicki started to make up words to a tune Mollie, Eneri, Libby and Taylah joined in, Vicki would say a line and then the children would make up their own line to the song, Mollie had the rainbow ribbons, Vicki sung "this is purple", then Mollie would sing the next colour and so on. Mollie had obviously enjoyed this little music time because later on in the day she talked to Vicki and sung "this is purple". Music is such a great way for children to be self-expressive, it's a way of being involved by yourself or within a group. Children gain confidence in using their voice and using their imaginations, they also learn music concepts such as beat,melody and tempo.
