Pre-Kindergarten Students Build Literacy Skills, Confidence, Self-Esteem through Music
Sebastian Sun
March 11, 2005

Terry Galvin reports that teachers of the pre-kindergarteners in Indian River County, Florida need to be a very special breed, because many of the 4- and 5-year-olds that come to them have no prior schooling. The common dilemma is how to best give the basic learning tools these students will need to carry them through the next 12, 16 and sometimes even 20-plus years of education they will face. Colleen Fobes, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Pelican Island Elementary School, formulated a unique plan, entitled Karaoke to Literacy, early last fall when her class of 14 included a handful of special-case students. Her plan was to help the students build their literacy skills through the use of music while instilling confidence and self-esteem in them while making presentations in front of fellow students.

 On August 12th I attended the Gallup Baroque and Classical Concert at El Morro. Like Patrick and Dr. Howard reported, it was a lovely evening. I was intrigued by this event both because it was a unique opportunity for live classical music in Gallup and because I good friend was playing her flute.

I played the piano for many years but I am always amazed by mixture of skill and coordination of talented musicians. The sound that filled the room last Tuesday seemed magical. Although I was watching the musicians their quickly moving fingers and stokes of a bow seemed very physical while the music seemed to take off on its own into a different realm.

As I sat listening to the concert I realized that listening to live music is more than just auditory – it is an entire experience. Watching the graceful movements of the musicians, feeling the vibrations in the room, being aware of my own movements and the movements and presence of the crowd around me all were part of the atmosphere.

I was also struck by the way that the music I heard was able to transport me. It had been a stressful week and listening to the trill of flutes, reedy tone of an oboe or the comforting mellow notes of a cello drew me in and gave me a focus in a way that I do not usually experience everyday. My thoughts did not drift to the list of things I had not yet done for tomorrow rather they were fixed in the present. This was such a good feeling.

One of the most important things I took home with me was the sense of community I felt listening to the concert. Listening to music in the presence of others is a different experience than listening to it alone. I was surprised at how many people attended Baroque and Classical concert. I felt as if I could sense the appreciation the audience members had towards the performers. When we applauded at the end of a piece I felt a connection to the others in the room. What a great way to bring people together! Noa Kay
