Sound is the only "language" your infant knows. In sharing music with your baby through
playful activities, you and your child will form an even greater bond, while your child increases
his or her curiosity about music, develops listening skills and establishes the foundation for music.
Family Music for Babies incorporates songs, games, dancing, moving and singing into a non-stressful,
non-judgmental musical playtime. Emphasis is on relaxing, growing and enjoying time together,
without any behavioral expectations.
Fall '12 and Spring '13 Semesters: TUESDAY 10:30AM
As your toddler begins to explore the world, movement and sensory perception become primary learning
tools.
Participating in fun-filled activities that bridge the natural gap between music and movement will serve
to strengthen the musical bond you have with your child, while nurturing perceptual learning.
Family Music for Toddlers stresses rote imitation of tonal and rhythmic patterns and develops creativity
through singing, moving, dancing, listening and playing simple instruments.
Fall '12 and Spring '13 Semesters: TUESDAY 9:30AM; SATURDAY 10:45AM
A growing desire for independence, a fascination with nature and a need for self-expression are
integral parts of your pre-schooler's development. Your child will enjoy learning about music through
nature with classmates for the first half-hour of each session, and with you during the last 15 minutes.
Cycle of Seasons teaches rhythmic and tonal patterning to create the building blocks
for musical notation through singing, focused listening and exploring musical instruments.
Self-expression is taught through creative movement and storytelling.
Fall '12 and Spring '13 Semesters: TUESDAY 3:30PM; SATURDAY 11:45AM
As a pre- or beginning reader, your older child is ready to translate musical sounds into symbols.
Newly acquired motor skills and language development set the stage for further exploration of music.
