When do classes begin?
- Classes begin on September 20/23/24.
How long is this session?
- Autumn Music Play is a 9 week session.
What age is this for?
- Music play is for infants up to 4 years old. Research on how children learn music has shown us that music learning starts at birth (some may even argue in utero!). When children are exposed to a rich musical environment, they will grow musically through absorption and assimilation! We offer one class specifically for babies. This is a great class for pre-walkers. All other classes are open to babies - 4 year olds.
What is music play?
- Welcome to the world of musical play, where your child's musical journey begins with their entire body. We explore many different sounds and patterns within our music circle, nurturing both their bodily coordination and singing voice. Through playful songs, chants, & stories, your child will not only grow musically, but they will grow emotionally and socially in this encouraging environment.
What is your teaching philosophy?
- I believe that every child is born with inherent musical potential which grows through communal music experiences. Young children learn music best through imitation and play. Similar to language development, I teach what music sounds like before ever reading musical notation. Through on going musical experiences and with encouragement to explore musically, children will bloom- musically, socially, and emotionally! Music play is best in the context of community and The Musical Mom strives to foster a musical community of families who encourage, play, learn, and grow together.
What is the cost for siblings?
- Infant siblings under 6 months are free. Registration for siblings 6+ months is offered at 50% off. Please register your second child separately and use code sibling.
