What is Music & Movement?

Music and Movement is a storytime with the primary mode of delivery being musical activities.

Music and Movement programs promote literacy skills and enrich the learning experience through active participation in stories, songs, rhymes, and rhythms.

Music and Movement programs incorporate various elements such as musical instruments(rhythm sticks, shakers, bells), creative movement, and music play (scarves, bubbles, streamers, parachute games).

THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC IN CHILDREN'S LIVES

by Jean Warren

Whether you are musical or not, you can add the element

of music to children's lives. Experts agree that music can

strengthen children's minds and serve as a fundamental

skill of learning. Music develops children's sense of

patterning and memory skills. Some say music

"nourishes children's brains." Music stimulates brain

connections and can actually make children smarter.

possibilities are endless…” taken from Musical Story Hours:

If You’re Happy (With Chords) traditional

If you’re happy and you know it , number 5 (whack, whack)If you’re happy and you know it, number 1 (whack, whack)

If you’re happy (4 whack-a, whack-a, whacky) and you know it, then you’re face (1 whack-a, whack-a, whacky) will surely show it,

If you’re happy and you know it, five then one.

2. In watching its pendulum swing to and fro, Many hours had he spent while a boy; And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know, And to share both his grief and his joy. For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door, With a blooming and beautiful bride. But it stopped short, Never to go again, When the old man died.

3. My grandfather said, that of those he could hire, Not a servant so faithful he found: For it wasted no time, and had but one desire, At the close of each week to be wound. And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face, And its hands never hung by its side; But it stopped short, Never to go again, When the old man died.

Ho ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

1. My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor; It was taller by half than the old man himself, Though it weighed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, And was always his treasure and pride. But it stopped short, Never to go again, When the old man died.

Chorus Ninety years without slumbering Tick, tock, tick, tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped short, Never to go again When the old man died.
