Music for Young Children
Music for Young Children
INTERMEDIATE (6/7 yrs)
SENIOR (7/8 yrs)
Emphasis is on melodic/ rhythmic literacy and creativity. Students develop skills insight singing, inner-hearing, and learn to read, write, improvise, perform and conduct music on xylophones, recorders, etc. The ensemble environment encourages cooperation, independence and confidence. Both courses build an excellent and necessary foundation for students wishing to pursue private instrumental studies.
Our Kodaly/ Orff and Dalcroze programs are an excellent beginning for those starting their musical journey, and a natural progression for students who have already experiences our Baby/Toddler Tot classes.
Each level introduces and reinforces age-appropriate skills through speech, song, movement, instrument play, listening and creative exploration.
BEGINNER (3 yrs)
Children explore the foundations of music: melody, beat and rhythm. Emphasis is on singing, listening, moving and developing motor and social skills.
JUNIORS
Level I (4yrs), Level II (5 yrs),
Level III (6 yrs)
Children develop their melodic/rhythmic understanding while increasing their concentration and coordination. Preparation for literacy is strengthened with listening, memory and inner hearing activities. Musical notation is introduced.
Exposure to music at a young age encourages the development of the innate musicality present in all children.
