MUSIC C L UB

The music club enthusiastically resumed its term two activities, with the children eagerly engag-
ing in playing musical instruments.
We had the drumming Session where the teacher demonstrated basic drumming techniques, in-
cluding how to hold the drumsticks and strike the drums. The children took turns playing the

drum set under the teacher’s guidance. They practiced striking the drums with drumsticks, fo-
cusing on rhythm and timing. The children were given the opportunity to explore the drum set
freely, experimenting with different rhythms and techniques. They showed great enthusiasm and
interest in playing the drum set. Drumming sessions allowed the children to demonstrate im-

proved fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.it help to begin recognizing and replicating
simple rhythms and also help practice teamwork and sharing as they took turns using the drum
set.
Another exciting element of the session was

the use of microphones. The children enjoyed
learning how to hold the microphone properly
and experimented with speaking and singing
into it. This helped build their confidence in

expressing themselves and introduced them to
the basics of sound amplification.
They also dedicated time to learning solfa
notes of commonly sung nursery rhymes.

Adults supported this process by helping the

children recognize, compare, and distinguish between distinct sounds. The children also played
the xylophone. Playing the xylophone involved striking the keys with mallets, which helped the
children develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. This activity also enhanced their

ability to recognize patterns, follow sequences, and understand cause and effect, contributing to
their cognitive development.

These musical experiences not only boosted
the children’s self-confidence but also gave

them a sense of accomplishment. Additionally,
engaging in music stimulates various areas of
the brain, improving cognitive skills such as

memory, problem-solving, and spatial-temporal
abilities.
