DYNAMICS (loud and soft sounds)
For 2 & 3-year-olds, learning
through opposites is a very effective way to present new concepts. The
opposite concepts of loud & quiet can be effectively experienced through
playing instruments, singing, and listening. Movement can be incorporated
into the experience as the children vary their motions, making them large and
small, or heavy and light to express loud and quiet with their bodies.
It's also important for children to begin to experience loud and quiet as an
aspect of musicality. It's natural for children to delight in playing
loudly, but it requires much more emotional and physical control for young
children to create music quietly.
