Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato
Music and movement.
You cant have one without the other.
They are one and the same.
Musicians move to create the music they are creating.
Have you ever watched a violinist on stage?
Their whole body moves, as if they are adding their movement into their music.
Music is the ultimate teacher.
Wassily Kandinsky
Music evokes movement from us.
It could be through dance, through singing, painting, playing an instrument or even running.
For many watching a ballet or opera can bring uncontrollable and overwhelming waves of emotion.
The beauty of the dance married with the beauty of the music results in perfect harmony.
Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
Music has the ability to guide our moods.
Some styles elevating and others leading to melancholy.
Music and children have a close relationship.
As soon as a baby is born, lullabies are softly sung to them.
soothe and reassure them in the new world they have emerged into.
Our inclinations when we speak help babies to identify different speech sounds when they are learning how to speak.
For example the nursery rhyme Heads, shoulders, knees and toes.
Within no time at all, your child will be naming parts of their bodies.
From there we move on to literacy and then on to listening skills.
Inspired by Rhythmic Ribbon Gymnasts and their routines we will be creating our own Ribbon Movement Wands.
History Fact!
Rhythmic gymnastics can be done not only with ribbons but also with ropes, balls, hoops and clubs.
So why not encourage your children to experiment dancing with a variety of accessories!
Here is a link of a Ribbon Rhythmic Gymnastics competition that you might like to watch with your children.
Show them how their movements with the ribbons blur in a photo because they are moving.
