Class Descriptions
Play is a wonderful way for baby and the family to play together. Musical play activities provide caregivers with opportunities to help baby develop physically, emotionally,, socially and intellectually. These intimate, interactive activities anticipate and support signs of development as they occur daily, in an environment of trust and security. In Class we will rock, bounce, dance, sway, and play with simple musical instruments and create an environment perfect for a baby. At the same time, the caregiver has the chance to learn wonderful new musical activities that can be shared throughout the rest of the week.
We meet in a climate controlled indoor music space with carpeted floors.
Home material includes music in a CD or digital Download format, a parent booklet and a special set of classroom instruments used only by your child (Their own set of sticks, their own rattle and a lovely scarf in a cloth bag). You can take this home weekly or leave in the studio and take home at the last class.

WHY... should you join a babies Music class?
- All babies are born with music aptitude.
- Babies absorb the sounds of music in the same way they absorb the sounds of their spoken language.
- Recent studies have shown that music affects the physical, emotional, and intellectual development of babies and strengthens cognitive and sensory development.
- Patterns heard in class feed the ear-brain connection and start to form the language of music. Before long they will be imitating those patterns, developing for life their sense of pitch and rhythm.
Who joins music classes for Babies?.Who is this for? How old does the baby have to be? This class is for any baby, at any age, up to about 16 or 18 months. Some moms have signed up for the class before the baby is born, then come back later with baby in tow!
What happens in a babies class? Lots of singing, dancing, rocking, steady beat, instruments, scarves, rhymes, finger plays, lullabies, and games. All designed to introduce little ones to the language of music, while at the same time equipping parents with songs and rhymes for every occasion! This class developmentally addresses your babies needs, and provides bonding moments for caregivers.

New Friends is this sessions unit of for all our Toddler music Classes. We will delight in the endless energy of your children, their joy in bouncing, rocking, and dancing with you, and in seeing them develop in this wonderful, musical environment! As we watch them grow, we can imagine them singing in the choir, playing in the band, or playing songs on the piano for a family gathering in just a few years. As we sing, bounce, rock, dance, and play instruments together we are laying the foundation necessary for success in music, regardless of which path your toddler takes in the future.
Our 2 and 3 year olds are always moving! In fact movement is not only your young child’s favorite new-found skill, it is your child’s most effective way to learn. Although children eventually have to learn to “sit still and listen” they can not do it yet, and engaging them in purposeful movement activities is the perfect preparation for this all-important skill.
