Description
Jill Trinka collaborated with some schools in the Fort Worth, TX, area to create a concert that would use folk songs and folk instruments to engage children in exercising their singing, counting, aural, and literacy/reading skills. The Bass Hall Children's Concert was recorded in October 2008, with first-grade children at the Bass Performance Hall. The instruments introduced are the folk guitar, autoharp, five-string banjo and Appalachian lap dulcimer. Through these instruments and singing folk songs, the children were able to develop music skills such as vocal glissandi, matching pitch, in-tune singing, steady beat, listening, and inner hearing (audiating). Other skills expanded on are text improvisation, the performance of specified movements and actions during listening, using physical activity to show form, strumming beat, and comparing sounds. Jill engages the children's critical thinking and logic skills with questions about the folk instruments. Throughout the concert, the children are asked to count (strings, pegs, "shoos," hops, numbers, and animals) and read.
Selections read in this recording are Over in the Meadow (item 841998) and The Crabfish (item 804148).

Bass Hall Children's Concert DVD
This is an outstanding video for students in the primary grades! Jill Trinka is a master teacher and has a wonderful rapport with the students in the video - and with students in my music room! <br />My students are so engaged with the learning in this video that they actually believe Jill can hear them when they respond to her questions. <br />A definite "must have" in my classroom video collection.
