In this class, children learn foundational musical skills such as tempo, meter, pitch, and volume together through educational, movement-based games and multi arts activities.
By age 3, children are beginning to develop their singing voices, and as such, singing a wide range of songs is a vital component of the Smart Start curriculum. By age 3, children’s basic cognitive skills are in place. Smart Start is designed to work with these cognitive skills through activities such as recognizing musical patterns, focusing on the most important aspects of music, and understanding connections across artistic representations. Children work in musical and artistic collaborations designed to foster basic musical knowledge and spur on individual and group creativity.
Socialization and personal growth are strengthened via group engagement. Many children are ready for an independent music class without their care provider at age three. We would like the parent or caregiver to attend the first number of classes (typically a minimum of 5). The instructor will let you know when they would like to start the process of slowly transitioning parents or caregivers out of the classroom. Once they have transitioned out of the classroom, we ask that they stay on the premises, close to the classroom, in case the child is in need of any assistance.
This class consists of 10 minutes of free play, 40 minutes of instruction and 5 minutes of packing up and good-byes.
This is a full-year class (of a maximum of 30 classes between Sept-May) with half-term options available in the new year.
Tuition: $465 per 15 week semester + $30 material fee per semester
