These classes offer an opportunity for adults and young children to experience the pleasures of group music-making. Teachers guide the class in exploring the elements of music through folk song favorites, fingerplays, chants, nursery rhymes, rhythmic bounces, lullabies and a variety of playful movement activities. Small percussion instruments, engaging props and storytelling experiences provide sequential music learning in an appropriately structured setting. Designed for ages 6 months to 3 years these musical activities provide an early start on tuning their ears to the joy of music.
