Welcome to a brand new section of our curriculum that we have been creating for you! Did you know that the critical period for auditory development is before the age of 6?

Watering Whole has a very strong focus on music because we know how important it is at this critical time in each child’s development. Our focus on music not only helps to develop musicality and rhythm, but also helps each child with cognitive function, language development, emotional regulation and even helps their memory systems to work!

Our new weekly music time focuses on 3 main foundational areas:

1 – Rhythmic Development – this week raindrops (call and response)
2 – Pitch Development and Solfege hand signs – this week introducing C/DO
3 – Rich and Varied Music Exposure – this week Vivalidi’s 4 Seasons (Winter section)

Although not mandatory, if you are interested in further developing your child’s sense of pitch we would recommend you may want to consider purchasing some sort of Xylophone or Resonator Bars to play along with during music time. A lot of the musical instruments that we own can be ordered from https://polliacks.co.za/
