Babies Classes:
Designed as a one semester introduction for newborns to 8 months. Parents/Caregivers are essential role models in music making with babies through song, dance, fingerplay and rhythmic chants. Come gurgle, coo and learn how to "play musically" with your baby. Understand your infant's musical development, the benefits of early exposure and how to use music to stimulate and calm your baby. At home music materials are included and designed to educate parents and caregivers in understanding how infants develop in making expressive sounds and techniques to promote sound-play and sound - movement.
Mixed-age Classes (newborn - Age 5):
Free from the expectation to perform, children can discover the process of musical expression at their own developmental pace and in their own learning style. Classes are 45 minutes and focus on developmentally appropriate music making for children in "primary music development". The curriculum is designed to support children on the pathway to Basic Music Competency. The music repertoire inlcudes activities that are accessible, interesting and fun. Our focus on adult/child interaction creates an environment in which the whole family learns how to "play musically" together. This is a great atmosphere that enables siblings to attend together and promotes family music making. Learn to appreciate your child's musical expression, how to enhance musical development and ideas to use music in your daily routines to support your child's natural enthusiasm towards music making.
Music Together Big Kids Classes (Ages 5 to 7)
Parents often ask when their child is ready to take formal music instruction. The Big Kids curriculum is designed to complete a child's path towards Basic Music Competency and lay the foundation for Basic Music Literacy. This 60 minute class is for children in "secondary music development" who are ready for activities that satisfy the fun loving and challenge-ready nature of this age group. Children will be provided with opportunities to develop leadership, confidence building and social interactions with peers. The curriculum provides structured activities including conducting, solo and ensemble experiences, folk dances, game songs, improvisation, music-reading, readiness and solfege. Children must be 5yrs of age at start of semester. Parents or caregivers attend and participate in class. Younger siblings over 5 mths do not attend.
Materials include a family songbook, set of Homeplay pages, set of Tonal Solfege cards and 2 CD's. Music materials are the current Music Together collection but have been modified.
