Join us for the Family Favorites and Holiday Hits!
This class is a great opportunity to fill the gap between our Fall and Winter sessions with fun music! We will be singing songs from the holiday season as well as Music Together tunes from the Family Favorites collection. This is a Mixed-Age music class, for children from birth through age 5—and the grownups who love them! Classes are active music-making experiences, designed to teach the way children learn: through play with the grownups they love. Gathering babies, toddlers, and preschoolers together makes each class fun for all. There are lots of group activities for kids out there, but Music Together offers a true family music class for the youngest infant to the oldest great-grandparent, and everyone in between. Imagine an extended family with a dozen or more kids and a bunch of caring adults, and you'll get the idea!
Each week, a trained Music Together teacher leads the class in singing, dancing, and playing songs that range from tender lullabies to boisterous jams using child-friendly percussion instruments.
Materials: The award winning Family Favorites 1 CD is provided to each enrolled family. (CD includes a small booklet insert)
Session length: 3 weeks (December 5, 12, 19)
Class length: 45 minutes (10:00 am - 10:45 am)
Curriculum: An educationally balanced subset of songs from Family Favorites 1 and other Holiday Hits.
