Kindermusik (15wks)

Our Time
(18 months-3 years)
11:00-11:45

is a class created for you and your child to celebrate the wondrous time of connection and discovery.  This class integrates music, movement, and literacy using developmentally appropriate methods in an environment that fosters creative growth at an individual pace. Our Time is offered in four non-sequential, 15-week semesters.  Children meet each week with a parent or caregiver for a 45-minute class of singing, chanting, listening, moving, dancing, interacting socially, and simple instrument playing. Security, excitement and familiarity of “at home” moments such as cooking in the kitchen, dusting and washing clothes is the ideal theme for Milk & Cookies.

  Materials include an insulated lunch carry bag, two home CD’s, two story books (At My House and Cookies), home activity book, and a stir xylophone instrument.

Imagine That
(ages 3-5)

takes your child (without a parent) on a musical journey of discovery and exploration by the power of imagination. This program will be offered in four, non-sequential, 15-week semesters.  Each 45-minute lesson combines a blend of music, singing, movement, literature, and pretend play.  This stimulating classroom experience provides opportunities for new discoveries and encourages each child to play an active and expressive role by reflecting, comparing, making choices, expressing opinions and problem solving.  Hello Weather, Let’s Play Together! explores sunshine, rain, snow, thunderstorms and more in this imaginative and delightful weather-related musical adventure. Parents or caregivers are actively involved in the last 10-15 minutes of each lesson.

Materials include two home CD’s, family activity book, ankle bells, rain shaker w/ scraper, play set, two story books (Michael Finnigan and Hurry Home, Little Kittens), and a backpack. (The backpack will be used in all four semesters.)

is a music curriculum designed to provide readiness for the young child who is eager for first experiences with musical symbols and instrumental discovery.  Young Child is a sequential program divided into four 15-week semesters.  Each weekly one-hour lesson provides an opportunity for singing and vocal development, rhythm, creative movement, listening, playing simple percussion instruments, exploring musical concepts, learning the elements of reading and writing musical notation, and ensemble development. Semester 1 broadens the child’s musical experience through the introduction of the glockenspiel.  Learning how to keep a steady beat plus reading and writing musical notations will help a child lay the initial groundwork for musical success!  Parents or caregivers join the class for a “sharing time” at the end of each lesson.
