Mommy & Me for Babies/toddlers (0 - 5 years)
SPRING SESSION (9 weeks)
FEE: $202.00
TIME: Friday or Saturday 9:30-10:15
Toddlers learn through sound exploration and movement in this curriculum. They sing, chant, move, dance, listen and play simple instruments – a full mix that allows them to be active, which is how a toddler learns.
Class activities will stimulate the musical interaction between the adult caregiver and the toddler on many different levels. Direction will be given to channel the toddler's energy productively, facilitate expression of feelings, assist in improving memory through repetition, and develop further musical aptitude and focused listening.
Class prerequisite: Student should have completed at least one session of Cycle of Seasons.
Required: Piano or keyboard in the home for daily practice.
Pianos require tuning within 6 months of the course.
Keyboards should have at least 66 regular sized piano keys.
Your child is now ready for Music Makers Introduction to Piano. The Music Makers Introduction to Piano class includes singing, creative as well as structured movement, playing instruments and ensemble work, ear training and guided listening. This developmentally sound approach to music literacy builds symbolic thinking, concentration, memory, self expression, and the children start to work with written musical patterns as well.

Lynn Keyes, a lifelong musician, has been giving piano lessons for over 50 years. She began her advanced studies at the University of Utah where she studied voice and California State University, Long Beach where she studied piano.

Music lessons are more than just learning to play a few pieces. Students will develop a song repertoire, keyboard technique and aural skills, learn to compose and improvise, and become fluent music readers. In developing comprehensive musicianship at the keyboard, students are building self-discipline and cooperation, learning patience, perseverance, fostering discipline, confidence, memory, creativity, and coordination.
