Music Makers Around the World
Ages 4-5
This unique world music program will stretch the young child's understanding of musical concepts through singing, ear training, ensemble work, rhythm instrument, pre-piano exploration, and creative movement activities. Activities will foster cultural awareness, strengthen the child's vocal skills, and provide opportunities to master body control. In addition, children will develop skills needed for success at the school age level such as symbolic thinking, concentration, and self-expression

Prerequisite of Wind Dancers or Sun Catchers preferred prior to enrolling in this class.
NOTE: Parent and child interaction is an important part of the Musikgarten experience. Parents are encouraged to make arrangements for siblings not enrolled in the class. Though it is our preference to keep the classes within the age range specified, siblings 5 months and younger may attend Cycles and Music Makers classes at no charge provided the parent/caregiver remains in the class. Siblings 6 months of age or older within the same class are charged the same class fee minus the cost of materials. Family Music classes include infant-specific activities and all siblings will therefore be charged full tuition. Discounts will only be given for a 3rd child and asseessed for the cost of the least expensive class.
