Music = Community

Music is the one thing in the world that everyone shares, no matter the culture, religion, or country. It is a truly unique unifying event that creates and builds community. In the music room, we are learning to work together in our school community to create beautiful movement and music. Here, our Kindergarteners are having their first community building exercise. We play musical houses, instead of musical chairs, where once the music goes off, everyone must be in a "house" (hula-hoop). I take one house away each time the music starts again, until we are one big group inside one house. Each time you enter a house, you must grab hands with the others in your house and travel when the music returns together as a family. It shows the students that in music, no one is left out. Everyone plays, everyone sings, everyone dances, because we are one big music family. Check out some of our fun below!
