Zin! Zin! Zin! A ViolinLanguage: English | Español | |
The feature book explores how rhyming, melodies and mathematics help combine sounds of different instruments, making music fun—and fun music. Taking a trip to New York City’s Julliard School of Music, LeVar finds out how orchestra members combine their sounds, and work as a team under the leadership of the conductor. Then STOMP, a percussion performance group, demonstrates how it incorporates creativity, expression, rhythm, dance and self-expression in a team effort that’s very active and entertaining. |

Gotta Sing!Have family fun outdoors by making ordinary activities into an ongoing songfest. The next time you are at a playground try these singing activities: See-Saw: Sing high and low notes with your partner, as you go up and down on a see-saw. If you balance yourselves in the middle, sing the same note. Sing Me Your Name: How many syllables in your name? Sol-o-mon Grun-dy has 5 syllables. Sing your name out loud, singing the same number of notes as syllables in your name. Musical Sit-DownPlay this simple version of musical chairs with the whole family (minus the chairs). One person is in charge of the music. While the music plays, everyone walks around in a circle. When the music stops, everyone plops down. The last one to sit down is out. Continue play until one person remains. That person is then in charge of the music, and a new game begins! |
