How to do Music at Home with Musik at Home!

I recently came across this new website called Musik at Home that has some incredible content for our youngest kids. I'm excited to share it with you because it has the potential to bring joy to your home and heighten development for your child.

Kathryn Brunner has created a program that literally makes music education accessible to children from birth. Her program can be done in the comfort of your own home or classroom anytime on your own schedule!

Who is this class series for?

• Children ages one to five (and their parents!).

• Six and seven-year-olds also love participating with younger siblings

• You can do the classes with one child or multiple children.

What’s Included in this class series?

• Six 18-22 minute classes designed to be repeated 4-8 times or more.

• 94 activities for structured musical play including songs, poetry, movement and rhythm activities

• Songs in major and minor tonalities

• Songs in duple and triple meter (just a fancy way musicians talk about counting rhythm)

• Tonal and rhythm pattern echoes

  • Patterns are the foundation of every song. Singing and chanting them build’s your child’s repertoire of the building blocks of music — and fuels the pathways in the brain for composing and tuneful singing.

• Simple instrument playing – Rhythm sticks, shakers, scarves, jingles, bean bags and grooved rhythm sticks.

• Imaginative movement exploration

  • Dancing, playing with scarves, playing singing games.
