What happens in an itsy bitsy music class?
• Singing fosters the development of your child’s most important instrument, the voice, through vocal exploration, songs and chants. • Moving develops body awareness, coordination and spatial relationships, through synchronized movement, creative movement and simple dances. • Playing instruments introduces a variety of musical timbres with percussive instruments such as rhythm sticks, jingle bells, resonator bars and more. Never a wrong note. • Creating stimulates your child’s imagination and encourages self-expression with sound and movement. • Patterning boosts your child’s ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language. • Listening cultivates your child’s heightened attentiveness to sound discrimination. • Exploring timbre, dynamics, tempo and pitch lays the foundation for conceptualization of elements of music.
