Welcome to November! This month started out with lots of music. This morning friends gathered in the music area to experiment with both guitars and the piano.
Later, we were treated to a musical performance by our special guest, Janie Next Door!
The audience was very captivated by Jane’s accordion and voice:
We clapped, sang, marched and danced throughout many of Jane’s songs on the accordion. In one song friends pretended to get ready to start the day—mimicking eating breakfast, brushing teeth, getting dress and other fun movements! In another, Jane sang a catchy chorus about getting new shoes; many friends joined in singing loudly and moving their bodies all around.
Jane also taught us about concert etiquette and we learned that if you like a song, you clap to let the performer know you liked the music! There was lots of clapping in WF today.
Jane Christison will also be performing in South Bend this weekend at the Century Center as part of a benefit concert supporting Kernan’s Heroes titled You’ll Never Walk Alone: “A Tribute to America’s Veterans”. More information can be found on the flyer below:
Hope your November is off to a wonderful start. –Jessica
