Music & Books
Today I'm sharing an activity that I use with some of my higher functioning music therapy pre-school clients. this activity uses a colourful story book to introduce different instruments and sounds. One of my favourite books to use in this activity is 'Say hello to the Jungle Animals' by Ian Whybrow and Ed Eaves because it is tactile and sensory with lots of colours and 'touch and feel' felt on the animals. As each animal is introduced they use a different sound which encourages vocalisations and also sound exploration of the instruments, while increasing concentration and attention, multi-tasking and encouraging imagination and patience for turn taking. Check out the video for an example of this book in action or let me know if you are interested in finding out about other books that I use with this client group to introduce music skills.
