There are great games to help students find their ways with rhythm. The Rhythm Composer will really get them ready for their return to school.
The Melody Composer will be great too. Working on that with the Match the Melody Game will help too.
​
Your child should be practicing flute, 10 minutes a day toward mastery of nine songs.
​
Augmenting this with MusicPlay games and activites will be great. If you click on Grade 4 at the top, there are 105 singalongs that you can do together. Ask your child about diphragm breathing and posture for singing!!
