The Music Lab teachers at my music school publish a monthly theme. They generate modules for the music history, composition, and listening stations based on the theme. After the children complete the modules, the lab teachers interview them, asking the students to list three things they observed.

Kids Say the Darndest Things

This is what some of the kiddos had to say about last month's "yodeling" theme:

Aria W: "Many of the lyrics were not words at all, but rather noises and made up words."

Ashlyn H: "Don’t think about it (yodeling) too much."

Beatrice V: "'They wear not modern clothes."

Haley N: "Learned about the yodel king (Franzl Lang)."

Hayden C: "It’s really really quick — sort of like rapping."

Judson E: "Used to use yodeling in farming for long distances."

Julia Z: "It’s like going from head to chest voice rapidly."

Lylah O: "I learned the magic of yodeling."

Owen C: "In ‘The Lonely Goatherd,’ there was yodeling between each sentence."

Olly C: "'There was a song from Texas."

Penelope H: "I liked that they were singing with the puppets."

Sebastian V: "There were barely any drums and no electric instruments."
