Musical learning for kids 4,5 -7 years is all about experiencing music through play and HANDS ON exploration. We listen, learn and explore the sounds that are all around us, we feel musical beats that can be fast or slow and make our toes feel like tapping and our feet feel like marching. We learn that melody is the part of music that we want to sing and our exploration of the language of melody starts with games about high and low. Join us for songs, imaginative play and instrument exploration for just right for the Young Child.
Everything your child learns later in Semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins here in Semester 1 with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm.
Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we’ll learn a keyboard instrument — the glockenspiel — which will be used throughout all the Young Child classes. Your At Home Materials provide the music, instruments, stickers, and activities for a home version of the same playful activities you’ll hear about from class, so your child — and you! — can learn where you’re most comfortable: at home.
Home Materials:
- Children’s Folder with stickers, games bag, and Music At Home Cards
- Family Songbook
