Learning how to appreciate beautiful music is a GIFT we need to be giving our children.
Since I was a little girl, I have loved music. Because of the many records that played constantly in my house, as well as the symphony concerts my parents made it possible for me to attend, my love grew from a very young age.
Majoring in music in college furthered my appreciation.
It wasn't until I began teaching young children, however, that a passion ignited in me to SHARE that love of music with others.
I'm pleased to offer SQUILT Christmas Carols.
During this miraculous season of our Savior's birth, it is imperative to expose our children to Christmas Carols. We can listen to the carols, analyze them, learn about their origins, and sing them. What a beautiful activity to share with our children!
It has been impressed upon my heart that our children need quiet times to listen to beautiful music (in this case, carols); they also need to be given the time and space to analyze and learn about that same music. Not only does it build the habit of attention, but it also builds musical knowledge and appreciation.
