SOUNDS OF NEW YORK
This Fall, Hands On! A
Musical Experience will present our original curriculum Sounds of New
York based on the rich environment of our city! With so many sights and
sounds to explore, we invite you to join us for a 12-week imaginary
journey through Central Park, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Broadway,
Yankee Stadium and other significant places, as we listen to and
recognize the many sounds around us.
Our unique age-appropriate curriculum will introduce children to
orchestral instruments and their sounds, as well as different musical
genres as we visit the sites of New York through a rich repertoire of
classical music excerpts, popular and folk songs, nursery rhymes and
lullabies.
Our new puppet-friend, Mr. Policeman, will guide us to the different
destinations by directing us through the many means of New York
transportation: by train, by boat, by bus and by taxi. On the way we
will learn numbers, colors, letters and geography by following the
streets, avenues and subway lines.
Come and experience the dynamics of New York by feeling, listening and
playing musical instruments! Play and sing along as we enjoy this
journey together!
