"Welcome to the latest installment of The Happy Music Teacher, where we're diving into the vibrant world of springtime through 'Spring has Sprung - 7 Great Storybooks for Spring.' This episode is a delightful exploration of storytelling intertwined with music, as we journey through a collection of enchanting storybooks.
From the lively vocal exploration inspired by 'Gotcha,' written by Gail Jorgensen, which celebrates the excitement of loud sounds, to the whimsical melodies found within 'In the Tall, Tall Grass,' written by Denise Fleming, and 'Little Rabbit Foo Foo,' written by Michael Rosen, where we explore concepts of up and down using various instruments, each storybook offers a unique blend of narrative and musical discovery.
We'll take a 'Listening Walk' inspired by the tale of the same name, written by Paul Showers, immersing ourselves in the world of sound and rhythm, and embark on rhythmic adventures with cumulative stories like 'Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain,' written by Verna Aardema, and 'A Frog in a Bog,' written by Karma Wilson, where rhyming words and steady beats come alive through musical expression. Concluding with the joyful exploration of movement and rhythm inspired by 'The Night Before Easter,' written by Natasha Wing, this episode promises to ignite the imagination and celebrate the beauty of spring through the magic of storytelling and music."
