Kids First at Hamlin Celebrates Make Music Day with "Ode to Joy"
New Education Options brings global day of music to West Hills and
Hamlin Kids First Summer School Programming
WHAT: For three days Kids First Kids are preparing to perform and produce music in celebration of Make Music Day, a global event taking place in over 750 cities around the world. They are learning how to tell stories and sing Beethoven using technology, sheet music and the support of materials from RPMDA member publishers. We made a quick study of written music, lyric and composition, emotional and musical timbre, and got ready to perform online in 3 short sessions. The results one project for the younger kids and one with finger puppets for 3 girl story tellers ranging from 5th grade to high school.
Make Music Day is a day of music open to all in the streets, businesses, parks, and wherever people feel like playing or listening. Educator Bo Lebo has been joined by Director Lynda Reichbach to create a lesson plan and experience with mixed age groups spanning 5-11. Although the other events occur worldwide as communities that come together in celebration of music and the countless benefits that making music brings; this is an adaptive version of arts education, tools, and creativity to explore the arts standards, music rubrics, and core subjects that spur interest in school, student motivation, active participation and school readiness through performing and studying music, its history and forms.
WHO: Kids First Summer Camp children at Hamlin Charter Academy
WHEN: Make Music Day, Wednesday, June 21, creative use of video and time frame to share their creative work on "Ode to Joy" with the world via multimedia, voice, and puppetry

WHY: New Education Options celebrates Make Music Day worldwide as a medium for children's creativity and self-expression. Kids First Kids at Hamlin are giving a heartfelt performance to join community members of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions in the joy of making music together.
By establishing one specific day each year, June 21, to celebrate music, New Education Options encourages a connection between children, learning, and music making, while empowering other individuals to seek out ways to celebrate music in their community.

Ode to Joy is referenced from the Piano Pronto Prelude-Primer books and the Methodist Hymnal combining reading music, social studies, demographics, solfege and singing instruction with IT and 21st century learning lab highlights. Children are learning about their family histories as well as the international culture of classical music, piano and symphony composers, and the 9th Symphony, thanks to the generosity of NAMM and RPMDA companies and the Dominguez Hills United Methodist Church Choir Hymnal.
