Our next toddler class is starting soon (February 2016). I thought I would let you know what's different about what we have to offer here at Keys & Strings Music Studio.
Our music class for toddlers (any child who is scooting/crawling/walking and not yet potty trained) is designed to use music as the tool for learning.
This sessions 10 week theme is 'Animal Serenade'. Here is a typical class:
Welcome song! Same each week. Why is it important? We anticipate hearing our name sung. We get to pick the activity that is done for our name. We know that everyone will acknowledge us. We might hide, but we are learning to expect our name to be sung. We are learning to socialize!
Fine motor activity with age appropriate instruments. Why are these activities important? I have to wait my turn to get mine and my grownups instruments. I have to learn how they make sounds. I have to learn how to find the steady beat or the rhythm of the chant we are using. Patience, Fine Motor Skills and Listening skills!
Free movement or dancing. Gross Motor! Jumping, swaying, stretching, marching. Let's do all those with clapping too! Multi tasking skills.
Imitating animal sounds. Listening skills. Vocalization skills! Singing covers these skills too!
And don't forget that beautiful clock that we wait to listen for to signal start of class. Anticipation, Patience and COUNTING!
This sessions class includes a book and a beautiful wooden animal shaped shaker. To register today please visit our website www.keysandstringsmusicstudio.com and click the Believe in the Music Link, or for a direct link to our registration page click HERE
