Overview
Embark on a musical journey with My First Music Class, a specially crafted 45-minute weekly class designed for early childhood music education. This class is a dynamic blend of joy, learning, and self-expression, utilizing a variety of engaging elements such as musical instruments, body movement, songs, wordplays, and other creative avenues.
At the heart of My First Music Class lies the renowned Orff Schulwerk Method, a child-centered approach that promotes active learning through hands-on experiences. Students immerse themselves in activities encompassing improvisation, music, movement, and speech. This method empowers children to explore their innate connection to music, interact with diverse instruments, nurture their musicality, and develop the art of improvisation.
Each lesson in this program unfolds a series of evolving goals throughout the year. Students not only delve into understanding rhythmic patterns and qualities of movement and musical expression but also engage in playing Orff instruments such as maracas, tambourines, and hand bells. The class encourages the creation of musical ensembles, coordination of speech with rhythm, and various other musical explorations.
Beyond musical objectives, My First Music Class embraces social development goals. The class structure is carefully designed to teach students the values of patience, cooperation, and courage. Activities are curated to instill the importance of waiting turns, fostering collaboration, and encouraging others. It is a holistic approach that not only nurtures budding musicians but also shapes socially adept and confident individuals.
Join us for this memorable experience of laughter, learning, and growth in the formative years of your child's musical journey.
