This class is the basic, primary music class, one that a child can attend from birth to age five. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, playing with instruments, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.
Curriculum:
The curriculum is taught by a music specialist who prepares and leads a weekly class with an artfully conceived flow of songs, rhythmic chants, fingerplays, movement activities, and instrumental jams. The music is pitched in just the right range for children’s voices and includes a mix of original songs and traditional tunes from a variety of genres and styles, including the rock, jazz, blues, folk, and world-music traditions. Because children need a rich music experience to stimulate and support their growing music skills, the songs are not only from diverse styles but also include musical content that covers a variety of meters and tonalities.
The primary goal of this class is to support children’s music development so they can achieve tonal and rhythmic competence. Yet the rich, play-based learning environment also fosters children’s growth in other domains essential to school and life success. Music learning supports all learning, and the curriculum and program model support:
