“WIGGLERS” & “WANDERERS” ~ born in ’21 & ‘20
In this age-specific class, you’ll learn songs & rhymes for clapping, bouncing, swinging, tickling, finding toes & noses, and playing peek-a-boo with your little one! Puppets, little dances, and the discovery of musical sounds heightens the enjoyment, until lullaby-time brings a soothing close.
Fri: 11:10 at Monarch Park
Mon: 11:10 at Kew Gardens
(Note: This class will also be offered virtually on Wed at 1:30, for those who prefer the added safety, convenience and value of an online class. There will be some signing in the Wed class.)

“RHYTHMATICS” ~ JK/SK
We’ll have fun with beat, pitch, rhythm & dynamics while playing singing games, creating sound effects for stories and poems, and improvising with sounds from around the house, as well as some we’ve created!

“KODORFF” ~ Grades 1-3 (SK by special permission)
“Kodaly” & “Orff” teaching methods are combined with a dash of “Dalcroze”, so learning is vibrant and active. We’ll play clapping and singing games, then transfer the rhythms to anything that can be struck, shaken, or rubbed to make sound! We’ll create soundscapes for stories & poems, and begin to learn the basics of reading & writing music.
