Sand Block Crescendo Decrescendo

$3.00

Children are great at following non-verbal cues. Help them understand the concepts of quiet and loud, and they will have no trouble listening for dynamics in music. Being able to follow non-verbal cues will not only help your child in music, but will help them develop socially as they learn to identify social cues. For example, people talk quietly in a library and loudly at a ballgame, or quietly when they are telling a secret, and loudly when they are excited. Give them some real-world examples like a train whistle and butterfly wings, then ask them to play like either one.
