Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet play and happy singing - all the Family Time activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you - and they'll start developing the skills they'll need in school and on the neighborhood playground. Family Time is also a good choice for families with one child if other Kindermusik classes don't fit the child's schedule.

Winter/Spring 2011 Unit: Make Way for Music
In "Make Way for Music," families will sing, dance, and move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high and low, the major scale, arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. They'll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time and family jam.
Home materials: Two books, two CD's, Family Guide book, an instrument-matching board game, and two fingerdrums.
