Spring 2010 Class Descriptions

Kindermusik Village – “Dewdrops" and "Cock-a-doodle-Moo!"

Newborn to 20 Months

Each week you’ll dance with your baby in your arms, share songs, lullabies and nursery rhymes, and celebrate the marvelous transformations of the first 20 months while bonding with your little one and getting to know other moms. During the first half of the session, we will stop and smell the roses—and lily of the valley, and tulips, and pansies as we play and move together to songs about spring. Then, hop on the hayride—it’s time to head for the farm! In the second half of Kindermusik Village, we will sing songs about the farm, including “Old MacDonald,” “Hayride,” and “Clever Cows.” In both units we will engage in rituals and playful activities for baby and caregiver, including infant massage, lap bounces, exercise, movement, instruments, and quiet time. Research shows the more you expose your baby to nursery rhymes and songs, the stronger your child’s emerging language-learning skills will be. We'll show you how and tell you why music can help your little one soothe herself and how music helps to build a strong network for learning in her body and mind. With weekly developmental information in your home materials and CDs of music from class, you can bring home those same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from class, and incorporate them into your daily routines. Both sessions welcome you and your child into a delightful, baby-safe environment full of creative movement and musical exploration

This 40 minute class meets once a week for 15 weeks - Begins Week of January 25th.

Kindermusik Our Time - “Away We Go!”

18 months to 3 ½ years

Fun, active musical learning for your 1½ to 3½ -year-old. Specially designed for active, curious toddlers, Our Time uses music and motion to balance the ups and downs of the turbulent toddler years. Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This delightful, unit focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Read stories about ways to get around. Shiny Dinah tells the story of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse, speedboat, racecar, and more to help you get where you want to go. Through silly songs and tender lullabies your toddler is encouraged to move out for discovery and back to the security of your lap. Singing and finger plays teach language skills, while instrument play makes it fun to take turns, develop rhythm, and strengthen zipper and pencil-holding fingers.

Kindermusik Imagine That! – “Toys I Make, Trips I Take”

Imaginative fun for you and your preschooler, ages 3 ½ to 5

What’s more exciting to a preschooler than a new toy? How about an entire Toy Shop full of toys! This unit is focused on creating a stimulating musical environment. Toys I Make, Trips I Take introduces the musical environment of a remarkable toy shop, filled with boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the-boxes and many other toys that bring a glimmer into a child’s eyes. Toys I Make, Trips I Taketakes you and your child on a musical journey of discovery and exploration…a journey limited only by the power of imagination. Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling, movement, and literature to capture your child’s potential to learn and to encourage cognitive and literacy skills, creativity and individuality. Musical concepts are explored and enhanced through the imaginative play using instruments, singing, and movement while at the same time developing the social and intellectual skills he'll need in school. Parents or caregivers join the class for the last 10 minutes for Family Sharing Time. So, the class also helps prepare your preschooler—and you!—for the transition to preschool or kindergarten.

Kindermusik for the Young Child Year 1

Semester 1 broadens the child's musical experience through the introduction of the glockenspiel. Each child has his or her own glockenspiel upon which to play the songs we learn in class during the year.

The parents join their children for musical activities during the last 10 minutes of each class. This 60 minute class meets for 15 weeks. (only offered in fall)

Semester 2 (NEW STUDENTS MAY JOIN SEMESTER 2) further develops the child's instrument-playing skills while developing the greatest instrument of all --the voice! Pressure free, developmentally appropriate concepts help effectively prepare children for formal music instruction after age seven. The parents join their children for musical activities during the last 10 minutes of each class. This 60 minute class meets for 15 weeks.
