Eva and I Chat 12x12 Challenge, Our Origin Stories as Writers, Music, Opportunities, and More!Pop in on our in-progress conversation where we discuss how we became writers in the first place, our mutual benefit from the 12 x 12 Picture Book Challenge with Julie Hedlund, and all about her precious picture book all about musical genres. It's a great introduction for littles to learn 10 basic musical genres.. Eva is charming and so much fun to chat with! Pull up a chair! BUSY LITTLE FINGERS: MUSICBUSY LITTLE FINGERS: MUSIC by Eva Wong Nava and illustrated by Eleonora Marton and published by Big Picture Press is a musical gem for teachers and young people who enjoy music. Check out this fabulous nonfiction book that introduces littles to 10 different genres of music: classical, opera, jazz, soul, blues, folk, country, rock, pop, and hip-hop. Lyrical text, rich vocabulary, fun interactive elements, and bright colorful illustrations characterize this one-of-a-kind book that is so full of musical content it belongs on every music teacher's shelf, and in every musical home. It's a great introduction for students to get a little glimpse of these ten musical genres. Used in conjunction with the resources we share below, kids will receive ten little gifts of music as they learn vital musical concepts in a fun and engaging way. A Little Jam. . .(The Music Kind)In the YouTube playlist (in the links section) there are LOTS of songs and videos about different genres of music that would be great companions to this episode's book. I really like this one because it allows the students to hear the various genres, but it also asks them to clap along in appropriate ways. It's a wonderful way to keep children engaged, and it works on genres and rhythm simultaneously! Win-win! Teacher Tips, Tricks and Topics |
