- students turning 4 in July-Sep should register in the next level up (Musicianship for Kids)
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, but since our summer offerings are four days long, we would like to encourage parents to stay and learn alongside their children. (If your child has already taken the year-long Smart Start 3 class with Chloe Hurst, then they are welcome to attend independently.)
This class consists of 10 minutes of free play, 45 minutes of instruction and 5 minutes of packing up and good-byes. Tuition is $125 + $20 material fee for access to the RCM app.
