Tuned in to Technology

Students explored www.nyphilkids.org, a fun website run by the New York Philharmonic. Here you can learn about composers, musicians, conductors, and instruments. After reading about how "Mozart is in love," students explored the musical game room. Kindergartners stepped up to the SMARTBoard to play the memory game Music Match Composers. They were asked to match composer cards or listen to match musical motifs. Kindergartners also loved Music Match instruments in which they had to work in pairs to match instruments. I encourage all families who play at home to say the composer or instrument name out loud so students are familiar with their names and faces.
