MUSIC TOGETHER
(Infant - 5 yrs with parent) Taught by Harmonious Horizons When: Saturdays at 9:00 and 10:00am; Sundays at 9:00 and 10:00am |
Twelve children (infants - 5 year olds) and their parents or caregivers meet for 45 minutes each week and are immersed in a complete musical experience from beginning to end. It's a community of children and their families and teachers sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants, and movement activities in a relaxed, playful, non-performance-oriented setting. Music is learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the unique learning styles of very young children. Each child can participate at their own level and are able to explore in a variety of ways with the example of the adults' participation in and joy of making music. These classroom activities serve as a springboard for further music-making at home.
