Class Descriptions

Private Paino/Keyboard Lessons (Ongoing. Email for availability and details)
(Ages 6 - 9)

This introductory method for young beginners is based on an aural approach to music literacy that provides a natural pathway to reading music. This method features a variety of activities which help lay the foundation for success at the keyboard and independent musicianship.





 

Music Makers at the Keyboard (6 - 9)

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.
