Many students leave town for vacations and other summer activities and have to stop taking lessons until the fall. Here are a few things you can do to keep your voice in shape while you are gone and maybe even pick up a few new skills along the way
Road Trip – Games to play in the car
Road trips are often very exciting to begin with, but can quickly become boring without something to do to pass the time. Here are a few music games that you can play in the car (or anywhere else for that matter.)
Audie is a great game to play with children ages 3-4 (or older). It is supposed to help indicate a childs musical ability, but it is a lot of fun to play as well. Each game kit includes: a cassette with two games-one for melody, the other for rhythm, a guide for parents containing suggestions for teaching music to young children (no music ability necessary), instructions, and other important information, profile cards for charting each child’s musical growth, and two pads of game sheets.
Folk Songs, Singing Games, and Play Parties for Kids of All Ages
This is a series of four different CDs with songs and instructions for games to play. Some of the games might be better for when you arrive at your destination, but the songs are fun to sing in the car.
This is a great group that creates music for children. The lyrics are fun (even for adults) and will have you grinning and singing along to hits like “My Best Day” and “My Hair Had a Party Last Night.”
Crazy 8ths creatively combines music education with popular card games – played by reading notes rather than numbers. Beginners can easily master “Go Fish” and “Old Maid”, while more advanced players will love the fast and furious fun of “PIG” and “Crazy 8ths”. Anyone can join in by using the cheat sheet card. The deck contains 56 musical notation cards covering a two-octave range from bass C to treble C, with rests, triplets, and repeats thrown in. A 28-page book provides rules for 10 popular card games.
Totally Treble adds a musical twist to familiar card games, which are played by reading notes rather than numbers. Beginners can master Go Fish, Old Maid and Memory, while older students will love Spoons, I Doubt It and Crazy 8ths. The card game contains 84 musical cards in 3 suits, spanning 3 octaves of treble clef notes (starting at low E), rests, triplets, repeats, and key signatures. Also included is a 32-page booklet of rules describing 11 popular card games at varying ability levels.
