Winter 2019 Kindermusik Classes Registration Due Jan. 5 |
|
| |
|
 |
|
Please note the Winter 2019 Kindermusik classes:
Village (Foundations)
Ages birth to 1½
The theme is "The Rhythm of My Day." This class will help bring more rhythm and routine to your baby’s day, as well as help develop lasting learning skills. We’ll show you how, and tell you why music can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and mind network for learning. You can bring home those same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from class, and incorporate them into your daily routines.
Classes are
10 a.m. Thursdays - Jan. 10, 17, 24, 31 and Feb. 7, 14, 21 and 28
9 a.m. Saturdays - Jan. 12, 19, 26 and Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23 and March 2
Tuition is $135 and is due by Saturday, Jan. 5, 2019.
Our Time (Level 2)
Ages 1 ½-3
The theme is "Fiddle-dee-dee." We’ll meet many animal characters in our books, activities and songs, and each of them are specifically chosen for a child’s emerging interests and physical skills. With silly, bumpy lap bounces, we’ll help children develop rhythm while further developing their ever-emerging language skills. With a special stringed instrument emphasis in the music from class, parents can bring home the violin, cello and orchestra sounds to help their children stay happy and engaged learners at home.
Classes are
11 a.m. Thursdays - Jan. 10, 17, 24, 31 and Feb. 7, 14, 21, 28 and March 7, 14
