The Bear Hunt Song and the magic of music without lyrics

The "Bear Hunt Song" is not really called that. It is a piece of classical music called Hall of the Mountain King from the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg. I use it in my classes to introduce the classical genre to young children and also to nurture listening skills and encourage little imaginations to run wild.

The Kids are going OFF!

#whereisthelearning in Kids going OFF! Behavioural management in early childhood through music. Kids always go “off” in our All The Doo Dah Day classes both in our face to face and in our Take Away versions! They dance with abandon, sing with gusto, giggle and squeal!

Naming steps with quirky yet descriptive names help children to remember the steps and the sequences as the name serves as a prompt. The children are able to
