Grown Up and Me Music Class - with Carly Parker - Fall/Winter

Each Music Kids class engages children in a myriad of different musical activities through the use of the body, percussion instruments, puppets, drums, rhythm sticks, shaky eggs, parachutes, and movement. Music Kids classes teach basic concepts of music and song: pattern recognition, rhythm and keeping a beat, volume dynamics and vocal control, tempo, pitch, melody, rhyme, and structure. Music Kids is based on the Orff Schulwerk method of musical education. This approach focuses on improvisation, use of body percussion and vocal expression. Through song and movement, children begin to learn how to match pitch, experience a steady beat and sing together. Using drums and assorted percussion instruments, children develop the ability to recognize and play rhythmic patterns. An enrolled parent/guardian must be present and attentive at all times. Join Music Kids teacher, Carly Parker and share the world of music with your child in this Guardian Accompanied Class!
