Class Descriptions

Music & Movement for Toddlers (18 mos. to 3 1/2 yrs.) (11 weeks)

Participate with your toddler in singing, moving, dancing, listening, & playing simple instruments – while developing a strong musical bond with your child.  Through activities that bridge the connection between music & movement, your child’s musical aptitude & listening abilities are further developed.

 

Music & Movement for ages 3 to 5 -- Cycle of Seasons (11 weeks)
This year prepares the 3 to 5 year old child for the Music Makers I and II pre-keyboard classes.  We teach music as a second language, using the ear training (aural) approach first.  They learn tonal and rhythm patterns and music dynamics that establish a solid music-making foundation, leading to musical literacy.  They will learn to match pitch using solfege, sing tunefully, and move more gracefully.  We use the Edwin Gordon method of rhythm instruction. Such a listening foundation leads to long-term success with music reading in future classes. 

 

Music Makers I Pre-Keyboard (age 4 before Sept 1)  (14 weeks)
At the end of Music Makers I, your child will have a comprehensive music foundation that is an excellent preparation for the next step, Music Makers: At the Keyboard. This weekly 45 min. class cultivates the child’s musical development through songs, tonal & rhythm patterns, stories, games, movement activities, instrumental play, and beginning keyboard.  Parents are asked to attend for the last 15 min. of class.

Music & Movement for Babies (up to 18 mos.) (11 weeks)

Play musically with your baby through bouncing and rocking songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, dancing, moving, & singing.  This is designed to develop listening skills & a sense of bear, & to lay the foundation for future classes.
