Word of the Week:

Ostinato ~ a short repeated rhythmic or melodic pattern.
Using the word “Ostinato” in a sentence ~ Our 4-6 year old classes enjoyed making up a rhythmic pattern and repeating it over and over to play ostinatos during our Tideo instrumental section.
The children have learned many Italian words this school year since music vocabulary is almost all in Italian.   They can musically demonstrate these other words frequently used in class as a part of our games, stories, dances or even names of puppets!  Adagio, Allegro, Glissando, Tremelo, Piano, Forte, Accent, Crescendo.
