Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education. Early Childhood Music Classes enhance academic performance, children's creativity, concentration, social cooperation, motor coordination, discipline and confidence - benefits that last a lifetime Dramatic improvement in academic performance on standardized tests has been measured repeatedly when music education is introduced to children's school experience on a consistent basis. Village incorporates music and movement acknowledging each baby's unique responses and developmental timetable. Motor activities challenge the body to become more self-aware and coordinated, and imitation and expressive movement offer a whole new means of expression.
Classes are for children and their caregivers.
These classes are a great foundation for any child's next step in music education. Class curriculum changes every semester but always includes singing, chanting rhymes, movement and dancing, playing with simple pitch and rhythm instruments, and plenty of games and activities that create an early foundation for enjoying music. Carl Orff was a composer and a pioneer in music education. Orff classes expose children to the joys of music through listening, singing, movement and playing instruments. For those children with a Kindermusik background, these classes serve as a bridge to beginning instrumental study.
