Let us combine reading, rhythm, and creativity for your students with our highly interactive classroom sessions! Every classroom session includes two people: a bassist (Garrett) and session leader (Hannah). A typical session includes: active and engaging warm-up activities introduction to basic ASL brief discussion of session theme (featured educational concept) dramatic reading of a book set to live music creative dance activity, songs and finger-plays relevant to book games designed to reinforce the CCSS in ELA and selected educational concept instrument activities (typically a band game where children learn to work as a team playing with Garrett"s bass). and our "Bye-Bye" song which children learn to sign Two Right Feet's programs are easily adjusted to suit various grade levels: our younger music program is designed to stimulate a love of reading as well as kindergarten readiness; when working with older grade levels we have the children explore more complex concepts such as parts of speech, plot details, and dynamics when singing along. Using the CCSS in ELA and the National Core Arts Standards in music and dance, it is our goal to promote: a love of reading and books, classroom kindness, and a playful approach to learning. See "˜Additional Notes" for our list of session themes!

I can explore and experience music concepts (such as beat and melodic contour) with guidance. I can explore and demonstrate awareness of music contrasts (such as high/low, loud/soft, same/different) in a variety of music selected for performance with limited guidance.
