Looking to spark your child's love for music? Join my vibrant and interactive weekly 30-minute music class designed just for little learners! This 12-week program is packed with songs, dances, and playful activities that make discovering music an exciting adventure. Through fun games and hands-on exploration, your child will develop a strong understanding of rhythm, beat, and the different ways they can use their voice—whether it's singing, speaking, whispering, or even shouting! Here’s what you can expect from each session: 🎶 **Welcome Song:** We’ll start every class with a cheerful vocal warm-up to get everyone ready to sing and have fun! 🎵 **Echo Activity:** Your child will build their singing skills by echoing musical phrases and practicing different pitches. 🎶 **Movement Activity:** We’ll feel the rhythm with lively musical movement, helping little ones connect with the beat. 🎵 **Song Activity:** We’ll learn fun, interactive songs that teach letters, days of the week, or key elements of music like melody, harmony, rhythm, and more. 🎶 **Instrument Activities:** Using simple items that you may have around your house, your child will develop rhythmic skills and internalize the beat through their hands, feet, and entire body. Whether it's maracas, scarves, or jingle bells, they’ll be tapping, clapping, and moving to the rhythm! This exploratory class is bursting with rhythm, beat, dynamics, and, of course, plenty of singing! Through movement, voice, rhythm clapping, and stories, your child will learn the fundamentals of music while becoming more familiar with letters of the alphabet and other essential skills. Let’s make music together!
