Make Way For Music   Wednesday@3:00

In Make Way for Music, families will sing, dance, and move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high and low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. They’ll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam. In their At Home Materials, families will receive two fingerdrums, one Sing, Play, & Grow home activity guide, two children’s storybooks (Drum Circle and Animals on Parade), a hand puppet and finger puppet of Rex (the lion member of Family Time’s Jellybean Band), and an instrument-matching board game. Get the family band together, and Make Way for Music!

Family Time

A music program unlike any other.

Different because this unique monthly learning program uses research-proven methods shown

to help children develop singing, reading, listening, and early learning skills. Plus ABC Music & Me is created by the world’s most trusted brand in musical learning—Kindermusik—so every activity is backed by more than 25 years experience in music and child development.

Music enrichment—not music entertainment.

ABC Music & Me is fun, but it’s not a free concert with a music teacher. Each week a trained

expert in music and child development provides an interactive learning experience for 2 to 6 year old children. After four lessons you’ll notice the difference when classroom behavior and listening skills improve—not just in your ABC Music & Me class—but all through the day.

Each month parents receive a new ABC Music & Me Home Kit that includes a CD, a new Family Activity Guide, and a new instrument every other month.

 ****Parent does not have to participate****

ABC Music and Me ages 2-3 Tuesdays @ 2:00 (approx 30 min) 

January – On The GoThis month put a new spin on trains and cars. In class we’ll talk about things on the go. And with a real-sounding train whistle, sound effects, and music CD in your Student Kit, you can take the learning on the go as you talk about moving fast and slow, while developing your little one’s rhythm and coordination and strengthening your child’s connection to what’s happening in class.  Student Kit includes train whistle, CD, and mini-literature magazine

ABC Music and Me ages 4-6 Tuesday @1:00 (approx 40 min)

January – Rhythms of the Land

In class we’ll explore the rhythms and sounds of Native American music. As we investigate, compare, and contrast a wide variety of drums and the materials they’re made from, your preschooler develops the investigative vocabulary she’ll need in the sciences. When you repeat that learning pattern at home and share the activities in your Student Kit, your child gets an early start in math, too. Student Kit includes jingle stick, CD, and mini-literature magazine.

Away We Go!

Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This delightful, 15-lesson unit focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Read stories about ways to get around. Shiny Dinah tells the story of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse, speedboat, racecar, and more to help you get where you want to go. Move, play, and sing together in developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 1/2 to 3-year-olds. Families will receive 2 CDs, a Home Activity Book, 2 storybooks (Shiny Dinah and Giddy-Up!), 2 harmonicas, and a train carrying box.
