Our Open Music class for ages 3-4 allows children to experiment with a variety of music learning tools and instruments. Elements of the Kodaly method are incorporated into group work, leaving kids with a basic understanding of rhythm, melody, and notes. A group introduction with strings and finale on percussion enables kids to gain hands-on experience with performance and playing. Free play, percussion-lead stories, and art projects create a unique introduction to music. Session art projects and stories change throughout the year allowing children to continue from session to session.
Open Music for ages 4-8 is a collaborative musical immersion. With teacher guided discovery of guitar, keys, and percussion, kids will have the opportunity to approach music-learning in a group atmosphere. With a focus on group jam sessions, children will gain exposure to a number of real instruments. Each child will learn how to play a separate role in an ensemble environment.
