Music Yoga Art Preschool: I Am A Good Listener
Class experience
Music Yoga Art Preschool is a class where introductions to music, yoga and art are centered around an affirmation "I Am A Good Listener." The class begins with a welcome song where we warm-up our voices and sing everyone's names. Then we play an instrument game, chit-chat about the affirmation, and engage in a breathing exercise before we warm-up our bodies with a 3-pose yoga sequence. We will dance our wiggles out to a high-energy song, wind down with an optional PDF art page to help...
Musical artistic yogis will be exposed to basic musical concepts, introductions to yoga, encouraged to move freely and expressively, and inspired to imagine the possibilities, perfectly suited for 3-5 year olds. Some basic musical concepts taught in this class are big and little beats, musical contrasts, musical forms, and ear training. Introductions to yoga include breath work, mindfulness and pose technique. The art section is designed to get the creative juices flowing rather than perfecting techniques. Each yogi will be encouraged to share interests and ideas to facilitate inclusivity, community and imagination. (Grown-Ups should be nearby to help with any technical difficulties.)
Please refer to my teacher profile for my experience as a teacher. (TLDR: I have been teaching music for over 20 years, almost all my employment experience has involved working with children, I have a Masters of Music Degree from the Manhattan School of Music and have been practicing yoga for 15+ years. I am an amateur artist who loves everything crafty.)
1 file available upon enrollment- A PDF Grown-Up Guide will be provided detailing the lyrics of the songs we will sing, the yoga poses we will do, and an inspirational PDF art page. This is not essential for participation during the class. - Optional: Blank paper if you do not have access to a printer, and coloring utensils like crayons, washable markers or pencils.
Safety and privacy are Outschool's and my top priority. Whenever students are involved in a physical fitness routine, please be advised of any potential hazards (including, but not limited to, needing an open workout space, a water bottle, and comfortable clothing,) as well as injuries that can occur if yogis are not properly supervised. Enabling Original Sound in Zoom Audio Settings will help me tremendously with being able to hear your yogi. It is highly recommended that you Enable Original Sound when doing music classes.

PDF Grown-Up Guides are available for reference. Each Grown-Up Guide consists of the lyrics to songs, pictures and/or descriptions of yoga poses, and an art PDF page.
