when my ds was a baby/toddler we went to a great music class that he just loved! I have been using the songs that I remember with DD, but I only remember a few. I would like to try and recreate this for her. Does anyone have a good resource for this? I would love if it had a cd or DVD to help me along. I want it to have finger plays, rhythm songs, bounces and games. Oh and while I could afford. Music class the closest is 75 mins away. I really hate living in the middle of nowhere!

 

Thanks!

I've bought curriculum from Musikgarten to use to teach a few music classes, but it's really pricy. What I would recommend is buying the whole set from Making Muisc Praying Twice. For $100 you get a huge teachers manual, 5 CD and kids music books. My little ones really love it. It is catholic, so each disc has one or two prayer type songs and there is a saint dedication on the first page of each kid's book, but you could totally ignore that and have a lot of good music to enjoy. http://www.makingmusicprayingtwice.com/

I know it may not be exactly what your after, but its a two level program meant to teach children the Penny/Tin Whistle. This instrument is great for little kids, and its much better than a recorder (and easier, but JMO).

 

Its a downloadable ebook, with links to private youtube videos (that are for teacher training, not for the student to view). There is something like 7 teacher lessons on video (for you to learn the penny whistle) and 20 class lessons (how you would teach the kids) plus the ebook detailing the lessons for each ebook there is videos, so I can't remember but the two ebooks would probably be twice that (54 videos, 40 lessons etc). You start off playing certain keys on the whistle, and them just playing (so in the beginning, they don't have a whistle) you do things like follow the leader, musical chairs type stuff, then it works upto teaching the kids to play.
