A Family Packet includes two compact discs, two full color literature books, a home instrument and an activity book for home use so that learning continues throughout the week. Music concepts are experienced through moving, singing, listening, creating, and playing instruments. Parents join in the last 15 minutes of class.
Children take home activities each week to make or do, enhancing their experience.
A CD and picture song book also facilitates learning and enjoyment throughout the week. This class builds a foundation for private instruction and is a two-year sequence. In the second year, the dulcimer is introduced in the Fall term and soprano recorder in the Spring term.
