Pink Piggies #12

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 | Pink Piggies Lessons

Lesson #12


No class next week because it’s spring break! Final tuition is due when we come back in 2 weeks.


Lesson 15 will be an "Instrument Day"! This class gives families a chance to share an instrument. Of course, performing is optional and you are welcome to just listen, but we would enjoy hearing from you, your child, or another family member or friend who plays an instrument. We welcome any and all performers! Let me know if you have any questions.


Next week we'll sing these songs in class:

  • Ten Little Pennies
  • Name the Instruments
  • Grandma's Glasses
  • Doggie, Doggie, Where's Your Bone?
  • Take Me Out to the Ballgame
  • Bow Wow Wow
  • To Market
  • The Happy Farmer
  • My Little Rooster
  • Uno, Dos, Tres
  • De Colores



Two of the songs we sing this semester, Picaflor and Hey! Hey! Look at Me!, have only two pitches, SOL and MI. A third song, Doggie, Doggie, Where’s Your Bone?, adds LA for a total of only three pitches. This is because the SOL-MI interval is the easiest interval for the child to learn to recognize, imitate, and sing in tune, therefore allowing children to have successful singing experiences. We also use these songs to expose children to the musical staff and pitch relationships.


Optional home fun activity: Make the doggie and bone puppets on page 29          
(Remember, these activities are optional but can be a great bonding experience to do with your child during the week.)  


Here's a fun video of "Grandma's Glasses" for you!

Sound Beginnings is education through musical play! It prepares children for success in Kindergarten and Let’s Play Music. Sound beginnings provides research-based elements that stimulate growth in the areas particularly crucial to the development of the young child. These elements make up the foundation of the Sound Beginnings curriculum.  Here is just one:

Our classes teach intelligent listening and understanding of classical form in a fun and interactive way. Each semester we study the timbre (tam'-ber) of various instruments and our 'smart moves' dances involve the whole body in an enjoyable, classical music experience.

Have a musical day!
