Yellow Arrows Summer

Summer is here and I really hope you enjoy the slower pace of life and maybe some fun family adventures.  We are headed on an East Coast road trip and hope to see some great sites and make some memories.  I would love for your kids to keep me updated on their summer fun! Text or email me pictures. 

I encourage you to make music a part of your summer routine (5 days a week!). It should be playful, and there are so many ideas.  I've attached the SUMMER PRACTICE CHALLENGE.  Optional, but SOOOO worth it.  If your child wants an easy transition into 3rd year, I suggest doing the challenge!  You can break it up into weeks when you will be in town. Make it work for you!

Other ideas to incorporate music into your summer:

-Play their 5 most favorite songs

-Play one song 5 times (give lots of praise and high fives!)

-Sing with a Let's Play Music album (you should have 4 to choose from)

-Play alphabet pieces games (variations in the attachment)

-Do this fun escape room

-Play a duet with your child you play LH and they play RH, then switch (this works for I am Robin Hood, Practice Every Day, and How to Skip.)

-Perform a musical puppet show with homemade props

Please share what works for you and your child.  I think simple incentives are always great! Once you put music in your daily routine, you won't regret it.  Have a super summer!
