this program cares about...
• Nurturing your whole child; we do not believe in specializing in an instrument in the first years of music learning — instead your child learns through the instrument they already have, the body.
• Including your child's input in the learning process
• Meeting your child where they are at
• Encouraging your child's love of music
• Developing your child's understanding of music. This is not a class where your child will just dance around to a recording; they engage with making live improvised music, and discover how it is structured.
• Making concepts simple for your child to master and remember
• We believe understanding music fosters love of music; and progressing challenge fuels enjoyment!

My daughter LOVES this class… We started her on piano at 6 after two years with Dalcroze and it is obvious how much she understands and has internalized musical ideas, theory and feel.

FAQ
How is this different from a dance class?
In this class, your child uses purposeful movement (as well as work with instruments and props, social interaction, and imagination activities) with the express purpose of building a strong sense of pulse, understanding of musical concepts, and musical expression
What will my child learn in a year of classes?
Through a playful and interactive means of learning, your child learns musical fundamentals and notation including concepts of register, arhythm (quarter, eighth, and half notes), dynamics, phrase, pitch (scale degree numbers and pitch names), meter (2-time and 3-time), and other expressive tools
Why start this class rather than an instrument?
Children who develop their ear, musical feel and skills before learning an instrument are often told they are progressing much more quickly than the average student
REMEMBER YOUR CHILD RECEIVES
a keepsake book, audio files for every song we learn, invitations to perform and join field trips… and a lifelong love of music-making!
We can't rave enough about this program!
