Reading Ready Time is a virtual library experience specifically designed to help children 3-6 years old get ready to read and connect with the Library. Programs will be available for a limited time following the premiere on our YouTube channel.

Members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra use their instruments to tell the story of a boy who believes a giant and his violin are living in the attic above him.  This concert encourages children to listen to the individual instruments as they are played together.  Identifying differences in musical sounds is one of the Indiana Standards for Kindergarten (K.6.1).  You can encourage this development by playing with sounds while singing in the car, banging on different surfaces, or listening to a variety of musical instruments. 

 

Additional resources to enhance learning:

  • Check out this great list of books featuring music and instruments.
  • Children process ideas using all of their senses.  Try painting with music.  This page has great tips on how to get started.
