Celebrate Thanksgiving With a Program 25

Celebrate Thanksgiving With a Program

Many times Thanksgiving is over looked as a time to do a program because Christmas seems so much more exciting. That is not so, a Thanksgiving program can be used to teach students the history of the beginning of this country and can encourage the students to learn to be thankful for the things that are around them.

Thanksgiving time is a perfect time to put on a short program. These programs can teach a lot of history as they are put on. Use words that you want your students to remember and know such as: Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims, Indians, country, England, etc. It is a perfect time to let the students express what they are thankful for and use a prop showing that. Students love props and so this is one easy way to let them use a prop.

Thanksgiving programs should include the history part of Thanksgiving, turkeys, families and then and now. A comparison of then and now would be great to incorporate into a program.

Of course, Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without telling what we are thankful or. This is a great way to include other kinds of music other than Thanksgiving type of music. There could be two sections here. A section of things that everyone is thankful for such as: our country (put in a patriotic song), our bodies (put in an exercise song), school (put in a learning song), friends (put in a friendship song). This section of the program could give a lot of diversity to what you are doing during the program.

The second section of the program could be about things that individual students are thankful for. It could include little segments of things that the students are thankful for such as: A student could say I am thankful that I can dance and then let them do fifteen seconds of their favorite dance, or I am thankful that I can tumble and have them do fifteen seconds of tumbling.

Why Pick Classical As the Form of Music to Learn Even If You Think You Don’t Like It 0

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

People these days, especially the younger generation, claim that they don’t prefer classical as the type of music to learn and enjoy. But how can you like something if you have not tried to understand it? Classical music has its own fans who appreciate it and love it. Aren’t you as good?

The world is an ever changing place and everything in it including music changes over the years. Tunes and rhythms of today are far different from those of the past. But remember, whatever you hear creates a world of impressions on your character, which ultimately decides the quality of your life.

Music is made of sounds, and sounds are made of vibrations. Vibration carries energy. When we listen to music, our being is permeated with a stream of energy that influences our character! Hence we need to be choosy about the kind of music to learn and enjoy. More melodious the music we hear, the kinder and softer our heart becomes. Music is food for the soul.

In fact, you can easily make out what kind of person somebody is, simply by asking him one question: “What kind of music do you listen to?” This is so intuitive that teenagers employ this exact method to enquire about a newcomer to their group.

Can you imagine how a person deprived of art, poetry and music to learn and hear would be like? Just speak to someone who does not read books or listens to only loud music containing no melody and just noise. Remember how you feel about the conversation. Now, speak to someone who appreciates beautiful music and carefully chooses the kind of music to learn himself. Notice the difference? Huge!

Classical music is an ideal combination of sounds that creates vibrant energy and makes the listeners want to listen to it again and again, no matter how old the music piece is. The energy rouses deep feelings in us humans and makes our life enriching and fulfilling.

If you don’t yet comprehend the benefits of choosing classical as the form of music to

Loving Bluegrass Music and Lyrics 25

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

People have always enjoyed music, for several different reasons: to relax, have fun, communicate. The reason isn’t that important as long as the music is good and attracts listeners. The ones that listen to music as well as the ones that create music always look for something new and better to bring people together. A much appreciated genre that satisfies the demands of the public is bluegrass music. The melodies and the shows of the bands which sing bluegrass songs have always lived up to their fame as this music is a medicine for the soul.


Bluegrass songs know their beginnings around the 1940s and this music is considered to be a form of American root music, even though the English, Irish and Scottish traditional music can be considered as roots as well. The name, of the bluegrass songs comes from the founder of the genre, Bill Monroe. The name of his band was the Blue Grass Boys and that’s how their music came to be known as bluegrass music. Being mostly instrumental music, the predominant sounds are produces by traditionally accepted bluegrass instruments. Unlike mainstream country music, bluegrass songs rely mostly on acoustic string instruments (fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sometimes the resonator guitar). On of the trademarks of bluegrass songs is the difference from old time music or classical music. While in classic music the instruments are in perfect harmony with each other or one of the instruments leads and the others just follow, in bluegrass songs all the instruments have a part of their own and almost a mind of their own. This type of music is known for its solos and the bluegrass songs’ improvisation is famous. One can hear the sound of each instrument and the talent of the man behind it in raw form, without any written notes and rehearsed shows. The soul of the player is the soul of the bluegrass songs.


Just because the instruments are a very big part of the bluegrass songs, you
