Educational Explorations
We are exploring all about outer space this month, along with music from the 70s and what a group of voices singing together means/sounds like!
Interested in having your own set of finger puppet planets? Check them out HERE!
Let’s Jam
I grew up in a musical family, and one take away from my childhood is my love for oldies! It’s been pretty special to play some of the same songs I listened to as a kid for my own little one now too. Ellie loves to pretend she’s a DJ with our modern day vintage style turntable/bluetooth combo! Here’s a few of our latest we’ve mixed into the playlist this month:
Here Comes the Sun | The Beatles
Fly Me to the Moon | Frank Sinatra
Tapestry From an Asteroid | Sun Ra
You Are the Sunshine of My life | Stevie Wonder
Blue Moon | Ella Fitzgerald
Pluto’s Lamant | Music Moves In Me
Did you know here at Music Moves In Me, we write our own songs? Our seasonal song is out now! And available for purchase: musicmovesinmesongs.com :)
