Moving Melodies
Children are born to move. Our Moving Melodies music class takes that fundamental fact and gives children a sensory and imaginative play and learning experience that will open the gates wide for learning. Each class includes carefully planned creative movement activities using innovative instructional music, props and imagination, an energized rhythm instrument play session to all of the childhood classics, sing-along games, rhythm stick instruction and a very special time to step up to the microphone and sing solo to end the class. A concerted effort is also made to include a wide variety of music genres and cultural influences. Your class also includes take home materials such as music coloring pages and parent advice for instilling a love music in their child.
