Everyday Music Activities #10

Sing along with the radio, CD's, or on your own!

Singing is a great way to internalize musical concepts and brings families together.  If the music does not have words, make up your own or just sing "la-la's".

Extension:  Listen to any of the "Beethoven's Wig" CDs.  Sing along and use the lyrics to learn about the music and the composer.
