10 weekly 45-minute classes of informal, non-performance
oriented music experiences: singing, listening, moving, exploring instruments,
engaging in dramatic play. Establishing beat competency and nurturing the
singing voice are primary musical goals, fostered in an age-appropriate,
playful atmosphere. Through folk songs, movement stories, listening activities,
and seasonal games, small classes experiment musically with such concepts
as high & low, loud & quiet, short & long. |
