Music Classes for the Young Musician!


I am excited to start up my Music and Motion classes again for little ones here in Utah!  With the weather turning colder, 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 gain musical confidence and burn a little extra energy.

I 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 exposed to a variety of musical types and genres, such as: Classical composers, including Beethoven, Bach, Mozart; Jazz & big band music, modern composers such as Copland & Debussy, and music from other cultures. We also enjoy a range of contemporary children’s music.

Classes will be held weekly for 45 minutes on Tuesday mornings from 11:00 – 11:45 a.m. The child and their parent should attend all classes. (Baby siblings are welcome, too!) There will be six classes, held on the following dates: November 13, November 20, November 27, December 4, December 11, and December 18.  If there is enough interest, I might also hold a Monday class at the same time.

A minimum of 5 students need to sign-up in order for me to hold the class. However, due to limited physical space, class sizes will be limited to no more than 8 students, so if you are interested don't hesitate to sign up. The price is a one-time cost of $28, due at the first lesson. To sign-up, reply to this email or call or text me at 801-310-2237.

PRESCHOOL MUSICAL ME CLASS
Ages 3-5
This class is very similar to the toddler music class, except we take the musical concepts a little further. We will also sing, laugh, play, listen, and dance as we learn about and practice:
High and low musical pitches
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
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.
