I sing all the time. Music is my language... I'm always looking to expand my vocabulary. This blog is an outlet for my musical chatter.
We're up to the letter 'O' at work for our language group time and so we're doing things that start with the letter 'O'. I want to do opera with the kids and just see how they respond. It might be a flop, but I don't think so. If I present it in a really fun and enthusiastic way... I think it'll blow their minds. So I was looking online for some opera that I could download that would be suitable for children and I found the perfect resource and it's totally free and legal to download.
So I'm kind of excited! Just deciding what pieces to use...
Ah and while I was youtubing 'opera' - I found this and it makes me smile. I like The Marriage of Figaro and this opening scene is all kinds of yay. :)
bahaha XD Jason, I'm just imagining what was going through your head as you read this... It made me laugh.
The first time I read the Book of Ruth I read Naomi's other daughter in law to be Oprah (as opposed to Orpah)... It's quite strange to think of Oprah as an Old Testament figure... and I'm sure I actually visualised Oprah as I read XD
Hahahaha... I read that entire post as 'Oprah' not 'Opera' and thinking you're nuts, the kids will never get it.. :D
ReplyDeleteI recently made a similar mistake but with Oprah's name instead. :)
ReplyDeletebahaha XD
