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 music aptitude is through active music making. By singing and dancing for and with our children in a variety of tonalities, meters and styles we are helping our children reach their full music potential.

This class offers adults the opportunity to play with their babies in a musical setting, experiencing music and movement activities designed to delight the child and awaken his or her curiosity about music. By singing, dancing, bouncing, and rocking, the child's music aptitude is being carefully nurtured, laying the foundation for beat awareness, vocal production, and aural discrimination.

Activities include singing, bouncing songs, rocking songs, dances, finger plays, body awareness games and echoes.

Materials include parent book, CD, and an instrument kit containing a wooden rattle, scarf and rhythm sticks, all in a cloth bag for convenience in bringing to class.

Off we go!  Once babies start walking, everything changes.  This class is designed to bring the joy of music and movement to toddlers and their caregivers, creating an environment in which the child's music aptitude is nurtured and skills are developed.

Join our "learners in constant motion" as we sing, chant, move, dance, listen, and play simple instruments.  Classes promote musical literacy, singing and rhythmic skills, motor coordination, language development, aural perception, and social interaction.  

Materials per semester include a CD, parent book, and small instrument (i.e., sticks, jingle, etc.) to facilitate musical play at home.

Join us in a musical celebration of the four seasons through activities that build on the preschooler's growing independence and competency.  Activities include lots of singing, chants and rhymes, listening games, patterns to echo, movement games, and dramatic play, all of which nurture the child's musical development while satisfying the child's need to learn in a holistic environment.

Classes promote further musical aptitude, focused listening, singing and rhythmic skills, motor coordination, language development, social development and ensemble skills, while awakening the child's imagination.

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

Materials per semester include 2 CDs, parent book, and coordinating animal picture cards to allow the learning and fun to continue at home.
