In this sequential program, children will explore many facets of music – speaking and singing, moving, listening, creating, and playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. During each class, creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing or focused listening.

The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel – a pre-keyboard instrument (semesters 1, 2, 3, 4), and string and wind instruments — the dulcimer (semester 3) and recorder (semester 4).

"For the Young Child" broadens and deepens the child’s introduction to the fulfillment and excitement of musicianship.

This is the perfect pressure-free preparation for private OR group instrumental instruction.


Spring Semester 2

Playing simple musical patterns and songs on the featured instrument from the first session - the glockenspiel - is a central focus this semester.  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 of the orchestra, and the families in which they're grouped.
