Some Favorite Listening Moments from this Year

Grades K-2: Color while Listening to Music

          Put on a jazz or classical station or fire up a playlist, then pull out drawing paper and crayons. Listening to music is the absolute best skill to practice at young ages. I’m providing some YouTube examples of possible listening sources. Children can free color or use any coloring book.
