Dancing

Recently in Nursery two we put on one of the children's favourite music cd that student Lorrall had bought in. As seen in the video most of the children participated. It was neat to see them dancing in pairs solo or with a teacher. Movement and music has been a focus in the room for a few weeks. The children have been learning about beats, instruments and being expressive with their bodies.

However one of the most noted thing the teachers have found is the friendships that have formed.

"Music brings people together. Through music, children take an inner experience and move it into a shared creative experience. Group music-making releases energy which can be channeled in creative, productive directions. Children learn about themselves and others by playing music together and by listening to each other - tapping into hidden courage that can be played out by singing together or discovering the inner resources to listen quietly to another child's playing."
