Music Classes for the Young Musician!

I routinely hold Music and Motion classes for little ones! These classes are a wonderful activity to do with your toddler or preschooler if you are feeling cooped up this winter! It’s also a great way to help your child’s musical confidence and burn a little extra energy.

I believe that all children are born with music within them, and if their early environment supports such learning children can become comfortable and confident in their musical abilities.

I am going to offer two different Music and Motion classes: one for toddlers and one for preschool-aged children.

TODDLER MUSIC & MOTION CLASS

Ages 18 months – 3 years

In this Music and Motion Classes, we sing, laugh, play, listen, and dance as we learn about and practice:

High and low musical pitches

Musical louds and softs

Rhythm / keeping a beat

Singing in tune

The finger numbers associated with instrumental playing

Playing a variety of different instruments

Having fun while making music

The children are also exposed to a variety of musical types and genres, such as: Classical composers, including Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and more, Jazz & big band music, modern composers such as Copland & Debussy, music from other cultures: Eastern African music, Paraguayan flute-playing, traditional Chinese music, Irish Dancing music, and more. We also enjoy a range of contemporary children’s music.

Classes will be held weekly for 45 minutes on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. The child and their parent should attend all classes. (Baby siblings are welcome, too!) The course will run for 8 weeks. The next class will begin on Wednesday, April 7 and go through the end of May. Due to limited physical space, class sizes will be limited. A minimum of 5 students need to sign-up in order for me to hold the class. The price is a one-time cost of $35, due at the first lesson. To sign-up, reply to this email or give me a call at 303-953-9694.

Musical louds and softs (piano, forte, mezzo forte)

Musical rests

Rhythm / keeping a beat

Basic movement to music

Singing in tune

The finger numbers associated with instrumental playing

Quarter notes, half notes and whole notes
