Music is the glue that holds together all activities in a preschool graduation party. If you get the selection of a March or party song right you can see the animation of the preschool children as they dance. However if you get it wrong the party can fall flat on its face and will not have the requisite vibrancy that is so crucial to getting the party started. This article will look at some of the things that you need to consider when choosing a song for your preschool graduate.
The first principle as always is the Montessori way of educating children which involves the use of the person’s unique qualities to create an education system that acknowledges their individual abilities and merits. Under this principle even the choice of a graduation song must involve the children themselves.
You will need to choose songs that fits the preschool graduates age group for which you are planning the ceremony. Preschool children have their own preferences for music whether it is pop or rock music. You will need to understand that what they are into at the moment. As a parent you might get quite surprised that you do not have a clue when it comes to the musical tastes of your preschool graduate. In fact some of them will enjoy the most appalling cheesy music ever but you have to take it in good spirit by understanding that this party is not about you but about your young graduate.
At the beginning of this article we have been talking about music for the party itself but there is also music that is required for the formal graduation ceremony itself. Sometimes the preschool itself will organize its own music or may ask the parents to contribute to the decision by way of a suggestion box method. If you are asked to give your opinion on what the music should be, you should take the opportunity. It might make the day more enjoyable for your child.
As for the preschools themselves, they are well advised to consult with parents and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to use the music that they enjoy. It might be a good idea to hire a brass band to help with the festivities or even other students might be involved.
Remember that the graduation even for a young toddler is a great event and they will want to be part of something that is fun for them but also something that they will never forget if you do it properly.
A successful preschool graduation party should have everyone celebrating and having fun. By choosing the correct type of music, you will be giving your child the experience of a lifetime with the added benefit that you might also enjoy the experience.
