Learn about the diverse and interesting genre of World Music!

This easy open and go lesson is perfect for classrooms or home-school. No previous musical experience is necessary to facilitate these lessons.

About PRELUDE:

All lessons are suitable for ages 4-12 years old and can be worked on together as a group or family. Accompanying the teaching time is the choice between two activities; one for young learners ages 4-8 years old and one for older learners ages 8-12 years old.

Included in each 30 minute lesson is a "Setting The Stage" section which introduces the children to what they are about to learn followed by a more informative teaching time called "Diving Deeper", and followed by a hands on "Activity Time."

Each lesson has book suggestions as well as listening suggestions that correspond with the theme of the lesson!

Within each lesson you will find the option of using a link or a QR code that links you directly to a short video or live performance featuring music by different composers and artists.

Each lesson gives you a list of materials needed at the beginning of the lesson which usually includes many household items that a classroom or house would already have.

One important note is that the use of a music platform such as Apple music, Spotify or YouTube is a must when facilitating these musical lessons!

Included in this lesson:

  • An opening look into what World Music Day is all about!
  • An informative section on the different genres and instruments that encompass the great World Music genre.
  • A focus on 3 important genres: Throat Singing, Flamenco and Traditional African.
  • An activity time is inclusive for Young & Older Learners. Students will have the opportunity to eat foods that correlate with the style of music and discuss the different elements of the music. This is an activity all ages and adults will surely love!
  • Book Suggestions - "The Flute", "Drum Dream Girl" and "Tanka Tanka Skunk."
  • Listening Suggestions - "Inuit Throat Singing Sisters", "Asturias", "Malaguena" and performances by "The African Children's Choir."

My hope and desire with 'PRELUDE; an Introduction to Music for Children' is that through the stories, the activities, the music and the videos, children would be drawn into the fascinating world of music.
