Smooth and Bumpy

Our new lesson focus, smooth and bumpy, introduces your toddler to two more important musical concepts.

A bumpy sound is called staccato. It sounds “choppy” like popcorn popping. A smooth sound is called legato, and it may sound more “flowing.” These different musical styles give music emotion, excitement, and expression.

 

By listening for and moving to these sounds, your toddler is improving his listening skills and developing a strong sense of music appreciation.

 

Hope your week goes more legato than staccato, and I’ll see you next week.
