Class

All babies are born with an aptitude for music. But research shows that their aptitude diminishes if it is not nurtured. The best way to nurture a child's musical aptitude is through active music making. By dancing and singing for and with your child in a variety of tonalities, meters, styles we are helping our children to reach their musical potential.

You will learn ways how to play musically with your baby through bouncing and rocking songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, dancing and singing. And of course they will be playing their first instruments.

This class is designed to bring the joy of music and movement to toddlers and their caregivers. This is a 2-year program that builds a solid foundation for learning the language of music. The younger Tods are in Sing-with-me, the older ones in Dance-with-me.

Activities include singing, dancing, focused listening and simple instrument playing. Creating an environment in which the child's music aptitude is nurtured and skills are developed. This class moves more quickly than the baby class and supports the toddler's  increased mobility. 

The materials are Songs of Summer by Musikgarten.

They include a parent book, CD and digital download.

This class is designed to nurture the emergent independence of the older 3 and young 4 year - 5 year old.

Activities include lots of singing, chants and rhymes, listening games, patterns to echo, and movement games, all of which nurture the child's musical development while satisfying the child's need to learn in a holistic environment.

Parents stay for the class, although some of the activities are designed to have the children participate independently of their parents.

Home materials include a CD, digital download, songbook, and manipulatives. They are essential to allow the learning and fun to continue at home.

Each individual lesson is 30 minutes. We use keyboards at the classroom. 

We start with an auditory approach, using Solfeggio,  and use the Alfred's book series .

The materials costs vary by student. Students should bring a folder to class.
