Things came in threes yesterday at Tiny Melodies as we counted to three along with Beethoven’s Minuet in G. But the best thing to come in threes was our newest Tiny Melodies family! It’s not too late to join! 💗

Tiny Melodies: Little Ludwig listened to Für Elise, a piece that has a recurring theme.

Then we:
🎤 sang a song
📕 read a book
🦆 played with toys and instruments

along with The Green Grass Grew All Around to reiterate a recurring theme in music 🎶

🤯 Did you know Für Elise can be heard many places, even coming from some garbage trucks in Taiwan?!

02/09/2026

Building nests and singing about the green grass growing all around helped us understand themes in music! It was a playful way to use our skills we practiced while listening to Beethoven’s Für Elise.
