Clown Town prides itself in offering something for everyone and parents of children with special needs are encouraged to visit. KUBZCLUB is a multi-tiered soft playcentre on Eltham High Street, providing a safe, secure and stimulating play environment. Learning to play the popular C Major scale on bass can help you play a number of songs. Playing scales not only helps to build finger dexterity, but helps you to recognize the same notes and tones, even when played on different frets. Learning scales can also help you recognize patterns and apply them when playing songs or writing your own music and basslines. The PlayBase is one of the nicer looking pieces of equipment that Sonos has produced. From the clean matte finish to the subtle touch controls on its front, the whole speaker has an understated design that helps it blend into a home theater. This created a conundrum for Sonos as they had to create a soundbase that was pretty yet didn’t grab too much attention. A chord is a combination of three or more notes played together to produce a distinct sound. While chords are the foundation of a guitar education, it’s possible to play chords on bass, as well. The strings on a bass correspond with the first four strings of a guitar. So, many guitar chords that make use of only the first four strings can be played on bass. How To Play Bass Scales

Squish Space has soft play for babies and offers children a safe environment to experiment with versatile material giving them the freedom to redesign the space. As with the Sonos Playbar, the Playbase has just one audio input - optical. The idea is all your video sources run into your TV, and just the one optical cable (which is included) takes the sound from your TV and into the Playbase. If you want a Sonos speaker with an HDMI input, you need to look at the Beam. However, the Playbase has the ability to sync with additional Sonos speakers (like the Play:1 and Play:3) to create a true surround sound setup. Refer all servicing to Sonos qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cable or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Watching Revenge of the Sith’s opening space battle, for example, created a fantastic sense of explosions and detritus flying to our left and our right, along with the satisfyingly low rumble of Star Destroyers in the distance. For most users, we feel the bass quality and quantity is good enough from the Playbase itself. Watching Casino Royale, explosions and foot steps sounded much more realistic and visceral than playing off the TV’s speakers. In your search for the right preschool, you may have come across programs that label themselves as “play-based”. Play-based learning is a common term in the early childhood education world.

A place where every activity and object placed in the space has a purpose, adds to the learning, and helps scaffold information across the learning domains,” says Gabel.

Creating art in a play-based learning environment exposes children to process vs product-focused art. Process-focused art experiences have no rules and no examples to guide the children. There is no right or wrong way to create. Meanwhile, product-focused art is based on instructions and guided by examples the teacher makes. In this type of art, there is a ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ way to create. Process focused art benefits children by allowing them to express their feelings or ideas the way they want to and they feel successful no matter what they make.
