Hands-on Experience of the Orchestral
Instruments for Preschool Children
I am a performing musician and believe in the magic of making music with acoustic instruments. In this ear of virtual reality most of us, young and old, have lost the connection to our tangible world. Munchkin Music is a unique music program involving not only singing and movement. As you can see on the photos the children are exploring a whole new world. After learning important facts about each instrument the children can try our each instrument. Seeing and holding a REAL instrument (not the plastic Toys'R'Us version) is an amazing experience for them. Feeling the vibration of the violin under their chin, or experiencing the different ways of blowing into an instrument to create a sound are exciting moments. When the children make the first sound on these instruments, it triggers their brain and their whole body. It challenges their eye, ear, fine motor, and breathing coordination, and is the most rewarding experience of accomplishment. Many studies have proven that playing an instrument has tremendous impact on the brain development of young children. It most importantly stimulates their spatial-temporal reasoning. Munchkin Music is a unique combination of exploring and learning about orchestral instruments, musical books, moving to classical msuic, playing musical games and making your own instruments. Even the adults are excited to try out an instrument. Mom and Dad make good music partners!
