Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Let me share with you the new lyrics of the song "Twinkle twinkle little star" I wrote with a group of children in a music therapy session this week.

Here are the words, let's sing this in the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle little star" -
'Dad, dad, I love you! Thank you for your presents and help. You are kind, smart and happy! You are kind, smart and happy! Dad, dad, I love you! Happy Father's Day to you!' How cute is it!

Through this song parody activity, students were provided opportunities to develop their expressive language and academic/cognitive skills. This is a good example of music therapy which can achieve more than one goal simultaneously in a fun and musical way!

Father's Day is coming up this Sunday, have you got any plans or a gift for your awesome dad? Sowing Music has prepared a 'Father's day' song writing activity for young piano beginners.

This simple yet comprehensive activity helps develop students' creativity and provides them opportunity to practice note reading, note writing, rhythm and aural skill. All students love this activity and it will make a very special gift for the Father's Day!
