Hello My Friends, Hello!

For your music explorations this week, I am sharing a story with you that is very meaningful to me on a deep level.  It is written by Dr. Wayne Dyer and is titled, “Unstoppable Me!  10 Ways to Soar Through Life.”

I wish to express how extremely proud of you I am, as we have been discovering new ways of being and doing while we have been learning from home!  Good for you!!  Remember to dream big, shine bright and sparkle more!!!

Do you know this FUN song by Charlotte Diamond?  It is called, “I Am A Pizza.”  She is the composer of the song,  “May There Always Be Sunshine.” Do you remember listening to that song in my post from a few weeks ago?   Hopefully, you do.

After listening to this song this week, see if you can memorize the words.  You may wish to change the words or add verses with pizza toppings that you like.  Maybe you like to eat anchovies on your pizza?  Or perhaps artichokes?  Or maybe pineapple?  Have fun with this one!

Enjoy listening to “Ketzel the Cat” being read aloud by Cassie, a violinist with the VSO (Vancouver Symphony Orchestra).

 

NEW on the right-hand side of my blog, near the top of each post, you will now find a section titled, “Bookmarks.”  Here you will find the links to the websites that I have directed you to in previous posts.  I have indicated the websites that are musically interactive for students to explore with the designation “(Students)” beside it.  Plus, there are a few other websites for your parents to explore.

Friends, I would LOVE to receive a picture of your response to either one of the stories shared in this post or to “I Am A Pizza.”  Draw me a picture or create something with other objects that you have at home (e.g. like we do with the Loose Parts Cart at school), take a photo of it, and email it to me.  Or if you would like to record a short video of yourself singing any of the songs that we have learned this year, please send it to me and I will post it to the Student Gallery page.  Have a wonderful week!
