| Piano Play! - Ages 3-5 Introduction to Instruments & Piano Program This introduction to piano is a creative class that stimulates a young child’s interest in piano & music through rhythmic activities, singing, creative movement, instrument exploration and piano playing. This 60-minute class encourages musical development through songs, melody & rhythm patterns, poetry and stories, movement activities, listening games, instrumental play and games. We'll be learning rhythm on drums, jumping the music alphabet on the floor and playing pitched instruments such as the glockenspiel, xylophone & boomwhackers. All our activities and games are designed to develop the coordination, rhythm and reading skills necessary to play piano. Home materials include CD with songs to listen & play at home. T The program provides a developmentally sound approach to music literacy that builds symbolic thinking, concentration, memory and self-expression, introduces orchestral instruments and ensemble play and focuses on building a child's aural (listening) foundation - all first steps in reading music. Tuition: There are 2 semesters in the year, each 16 classes. Tuition is $50 per month, with an additional charge of $30 per semester for home materials. Classes begin in September. Classes offered Mondays at 10:00 and Thursdays at 11:15. Additional classes will be added if needed. |
| Why Music? Children who love music for an early age are likely to become music enthusiasts for life. While some may go onto to become talented pianists or musicians, all will be enriched forever because of their early musical experience - whether it be increased coordination skills, improved listening skills or enhanced self-confidence. |
