Kindermusik for the Young Child
Semester 2 / Semester 4 for ages 5-7 yrs
15 classes, 60 min., $235

Explore many facets of music - speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music.  Creative movement or dances are combined with music fundamentals, plus our exclusive addition of "Keyboard Components".  In addition, the curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and string and woodwind instruments like the dulcimer and recorder.  Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for formal instruction in piano, violin or voice.

While learning to sing a melody, and then play the pattern on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into the understanding of musical concepts such as piano and forte through orchestra-style music such as William Tell Overture, and Peter and the Wolf. Music appreciation and understanding continues with a complete introduction to the instruments families of the orchestra.  

YC Sem 4Semester 4
introduces simple melodic patterns and songs on the recorder. With a special emphasis on multi-cultural music, your child will learn to improvise and write music, as well as experience the musical styles of the Pacific Islands, Europe, Bach, and Africa; plus play special dances and children's games from around the world, including Alpine dances, Mexico, and Ecuador.
