Music Together® Mixed Ages - Master's Class (3-5 years)
The Master's Class is designed to mirror some of the ways children are learning in a preschool classroom environment. The structure of a preschool classroom, and typical 'rules' that are in place in a school setting, are applied to a traditional Music Together® class (e.g., no running, no screaming, etc.) Rules all established in a positive manner and are explained (usually by the children themselves) so that everyone understands WHY the rules are in place and students follow these agreements to the best of their ability.
We create opportunities in class for children to sing by themselves, take 'solo' turns playing with instruments, offer activity suggestions, and make up their own vocables or verses. Children are encouraged to sing their own names during the Hello and Goodbye songs and to repeat tonal/rhythm patterns by themselves if they choose.
While a lot of the class is just what you'd expect from a typical Mixed Age class, we also include activities not always common in a mixed-age setting that are age appropriate for 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds. Younger siblings are welcome to attend this class with their older sibling. Most older children are aware that 'little' kids can't follow some of the rules yet, although we are always surprised at how some of these younger siblings rise to level of the rest of the class.
Join us for the Flute Song Collection this Fall! We'll get out our instruments and play along to the jazzy original "Blue St. Pat," search the "Pawpaw Patch," and climb aboard the "Train to the City." And those are only three of the twenty-five songs you'll learn, which include Music Together originals and traditional songs. In addition to your weekly classes, your tuition includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app.
