Semester
1
Everything your child learns in semesters 2, 3, and 4
begins with this early introduction to singing, reading,
and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that
focus on rhythmic development, we'll learn a keyboard
instrument-- the glockenspiel--which will be used
throughout all the Young Child classes. Your at-home
materials provide the music, instruments, stickers, and
activities for a home version of the same playful
activities you'll hear about from class, so your child--and
you!--can learn where you're most comfortable: at home.
At Home Materials
include: Glockenspiel, Canvas Bag, Children's Folder, Games
Bag, Family Songbook, and Home CD.

Appalachian music is a featured musical style this
semester. First, you and your child will build a
two-stringed dulcimer instrument with materials that we'll
provide. Then, in class we'll learn to play chords and
simple melodies on the instrument you built together. We'll
also explore rhythm concepts through dance with an
introduction to the basic steps in jazz, ballet, and tap
dances. Your Home Materials include dulcimer-making
materials, activity cards, and music that features
recordings from Appalachia, African-American music, and
Native American music, as well as the Western Art music of
the Nutcracker Suite.
