Spring 2011 Semester Themes (begins January 24th) |
| Young Child Semester 2 |
Everything your child learns later in semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we'll learn a keyboard instrument—the glockenspiel—which will be used throughout all the Young Child classes. Your At Home Materials provide the music, instruments, stickers, and activities for a home version of the same playful activities you'll hear about from class, so your child—and you!—can learn where you're most comfortable: at home. |
To continue your Semester Two experience all week long, At Home Materials include: worksheets, Music At Home cards & stickers, games bag, CD, songbook, a tote bag and a glockenspiel (from semester one).
Young Child Semester 4
Semester 4 introduces simple melodic patterns and songs on the recorder. With a special emphasis on multi-cultural music, your child will learn to improvise and write music, as well as experience the musical styles of hte Pacific Islands, Europe, Bach, and Africa; plus play special dances and children's games from around the world, including the Alps, Mexico, and Ecuador.
Prerequisite: Young Child Semester 1, Semester 2, and Young Child Semester 3
To continue your Semester Four experience all week long, At Home Materials include: folder, worksheets, Music At Home cards & stickers, games bag, CD, songbook, and recorder with carrying case (glockenspiel, dulcimer, and purple bag from previous semesters).
