..Monthly Theme - Make Some Music

Make Music a Part of Your Everyday Life • Chores to do? Find music you and your child will enjoy, then move to the beat or sing along as you pick up toys, sort clothes, or do other tasks together. •  Naptime or bedtime. Help your child settle down to sleep with a lullaby. Older children can hum along with you. •  Bathtime. Make up silly rhymes to sing along with the scrubbing and splashing. • Time in the car. Listen to the radio, an audio tape, or CD Make Music Anytime Move to the Music with Arthur Water Music Tune in to Programs That Explore Music More Music Resources   Music All Around Music is all around us, and it is sometimes found in unusual places. Bird songs, the rhythmic pounding of a hammer, the humming of your refrigerator, the dripping of a faucet, the honking a car horn. All of these are examples of "music" in your everyday life.   Take a walk around your neighborhood and see if you can identify some of the music that is being made by everyday objects.
