Village: Peek-a-boo! I Love You!
Age Range: Newborn to 1½ years. Class Structure: nine-weeks. Class Length: 45 minutes. |
| The game "peekaboo" is the most basic of parent-baby games, yet one of the richest.
In one simple gesture, baby's beloved adult magically appears smiling, looking only at
baby, telling baby with face and eyes alight, "I'm here just for you, whenever you need
me; you are adorable, and I love you so much!" No wonder babies have seemingly
unending appetite for this game! Peekabo, I love You!, is inspired by songs and baby
games from many countries around the world and the special love between a parent
and a child. Each class will be a multicultural celebration of baby's growth and family
love. Home Materials: a CD with songs from class, Peek a Boo, I Love You! story book, poster, a special duck wash mitt, and a baby duck gertie ball. |

Imagine That: See What I Saw
Age Range:3 to 5 years.Class Structure: each 18 weeks. Class Length: 45 minutes. |
| In this unit, preschoolers will use their real experience of playing in the park to create imaginative, storytelling scenarios with music. We'll go on an! imaginary trip to Grasshopper Park where we will sail down the slide, and then recreate the sound of that experience with a loooong vocal glissando.! Continuing the class experience at home is fun with the park play set included in your home materials. Each week provides preschoolers one uninterrupted session of imaginative play that's guided in a very specific, sequential way, with a special sharing time with parents in the last 15 minutes of class. Your preschooler will learn 25 new songs progressing from 2 to 5 notes and will be encouraged to experiment vocally including glissando, rhythmic chant, singing, humming and attempting to whistle. Home Materials: a double CD, slide whistle, pair of lumi sticks, Grasshopper Park playset, 2 x literature books, and a family activity book. and a backpack (1st semester only). | |

Kindermusik Young Child is a unique opportunity to develop all aspects of the young budding musician. This first semester explores many foundational elements eg. voice development, rhythm, notation, musical symbols and simple pre-keyboard skills. Children explore and learn to play many instruments throughout the 2 year course including rhythm sticks, resonator bars, drums, glockenspiels, dulcimers, and recorders. They build critical vocal development skills through singing, games, listening and echoing activities. For your enthusiastic musician, Young Child provides a pressure-free developmentally appropriate transition, where children can musically succeed before taking on specific instrumental or vocal instruction. In small, movement-oriented classes, your child develops their greatest instrument - the voice - while they learn the symbols, vocabulary, and foundations of music making. |
