In eight to ten weekly classes per session, parents/caregivers learn techniques to foster an enriched music environment at home and ways to create a lasting bond with their children through music. Basic Music Competence (moving & singing in tune with accurate rhythm) is learned through play, repetition and experimentation. Freedom is encouraged within a structured group of developmentally appropriate music activities involving movement and props such as instruments, streamers, balls, hoops, scarves and more, while all types of learning styles are respected and included. Multicultural music provides a wide variety of rhythms, tones and modes/styles.
Materials are included in tuition (CD, parent guide and song/activity book containing the songs, rhythm chants, “play-along” music and tonal and rhythm patterns done in class). Classes are 45 minutes long and are offered for Mixed Ages (0-5 years) in ten week sessions each season (8 wks in summer).
