 Family Music is a 30-minute class for children and parents. We usually do 10-12 activities each class with activities lasting about 2-3 minutes. Activities vary each week, but often include fingerplays for fine motor skills, traveling activities for gross motor skills, free dance, listenings (animals, trains, instruments, baby sounds, weather, etc.), circle songs, bouncing and rocking songs, and hello/goodbye songs. This age group uses scarves, hoops, parachutes, rocking bands, animal pictures, rattles, jingles, rhythm sticks, sandblocks, and drums in class. Parent participation at this age is a great way for children to practice independence in class while still having Mom or Dad there for comfort. Parents enjoy learning many new songs and games to play at home together.
Please refer to the "Family Music" page for more class-specific information on this class. Please call for availability, or to schedule an appointment to attend a trial class.

 Cycle of Seasons is a 30-minute class just for children (with a few parent helpers every week). While this age group does many of the same types of activities as the Family Music class, it begins to incorporate longer discussion times, listenings, and more complex physical movements for dancing with parachutes, and hoops, etc. We likewise begin the addition of more intricate rhythmic and tonal patterns using drums, jingles, rattles, rocking bands, tambourines, bongos, rhythm sticks, sandblocks, the glockenspiel, metallophone, and resonator bars. Each child has several opportunities every semester to play fun, impromptu instrumental solos while the rest of the class sings along. The Cycle of Seasons class has an ecological theme that emphasizes the beauty and music found in Nature. We study each of the 4 seasons with 8 new animals introduced for every season with pictures, listenings, and mini-discussions. Natural and seasonal elements such as leaves, wind, rain, snow, seeds, and gardens are also the subject of many of our songs and poetry.

Music Makers: At Home in America is a 45-minute class in which students use flashcards to begin learning about rests, common melodic patterns, rhythmic patterns in duple and triple meters, and dynamic markings. In the earlier Musikgarten age groups children learn elements of music like steady beat, rhythm, melody, and expression by “doing.” Music Makers is the first of the Musikgarten classes to begin actively discussing “how” music is read and written.
Music Makers is a wonderful preparation for future private music lessons, although students need not be planning to take music privately to enjoy the academic benefits of class. While we begin more advanced intellectual and musical activities, there is still lots of time for singing, dancing, reading stories and poetry, games, and instruments, including maracas, bongos, tambourines, the glockenspiel, metallophone, resonator bars, and keyboards. We likewise use posters and listening activities to begin identifying musical instruments from the woodwind, brass, string, and percussion families.
There are six units to class: 1) My Home Place, 2) My Neighborhood Community, 3) Woodlands, 4) Marsh, 5) Meadow, and 6) Seashore. There is a patriotic theme to our class; we’ll study several American composers, Presidents, national landmarks, and learn patriotic songs.

Due to the distribution of books and CD’s, the cost of this class is less every semester of the year (Ex: Semester 1 = $281, Semester 2 = $266, Semester 3 = $210).
