Class descriptions

For those who haven't experienced Mini Music here are descriptions of the class focuses.

Music for the Babies : Singing and chanting are eventual musical goals that begin at birth. Listening to sounds within the environment is the first experience to music for a newborn. Even though the vocal chords have yet to develop, the newborns ears can already differentiate sounds. The goal is to help nurture your child's development by keeping their hearing world full of various musical sounds both instrumental, environmental and vocal. In this program I have integrated a variety of sounds and instruments to assist in this development of hearing, seeing, and eventually vocalising. With the consistent curriculum you and your baby will be able to connect through songs, sounds and movement, bringing a great deal of wonderful enrichment to your child's early stages of a musical world.

Music for the Toddlers: I have been involved with infant and toddler programming for more than 10 years and I am thrilled by the absorbing minds of my young audience. This delightfully energetic class will foster growth in each aspect of your child’s development. Exploration of a variety of instruments allows each toddler to challenge themselves at their own comfort level, assisting in the physical development as well as keeping beat to different genres of music. Along with the use of instruments I also tap into their vocal and audio and visual development through songs, sounds, visual aids, puppets, balls, parachute, bubbles, and literature. You and your child will have the opportunity to learn together through a very free and enriched music and movement environment. With the bundle of instruments and toys, I like to bring a special energy to every class I teach.
