Launching february 2025

Each child and caregiver experience the beginnings of joyful, independent music making. 

Observation and participation are the child's way of first learning. 

This class focuses on the cognitive, social, and emotional development that begins in the newborn's first days and months of life. 

The instructor and caregiver join together in stimulating their baby's growth through singing and bouncing, joyful play, and dancing.

Song activities include dancing with scarves, rolling balls, partner games, dancing and singing with hula hoops, playing instruments (sticks, bells, shaker eggs, drums), and gentle rocking. A home CD or code link of the semester's songs and activities  assists families in the continuation of class content at home.

Additional songs and activities will enhance and bring alive songs through fingerplays, motions to songs, dances, and activities.

Each creative activity prompt is an opportunity for your child to embrace a new challenge. Through hands-on learning, your child is more likely to remain engaged and to build upon their creative problem-solving skills.

 Our instructor's strong singing voice leads the parents and children from the first day in singing and feeling comfortable with the group.

There are four separate curricula for the Musical Beginnings classes.

The child becomes more independent in singing and moving, and parents take the cues from the child. 

Beginning ensemble work, partner songs with movement, working with listening cards, and songs with directions challenge the child to listen, sing, dance, and act.

Our music activities are designed to keep your child engaged, whether it’s learning how to keep rhythm with instruments or matching pitch to folk songs about the seasons.

The home CD/music, book, and listening cards are fun activities to do at home with the family! 

Many and varied instruments are used in this class as well.
