Music Makers Nature Walk Ages 4s & 5s ( )

Beginning at about age 4 1/2, your child is ready for Music Makers Nature Walk--a beautiful nature-themed pathway to music literacy and musical adventures. Singing and moving will be central to developing your child's musical talents for the next few years. 

Still eager to play the classroom instruments, your child is now old enough to begin to understand when to play them. Children begin to build ensembles with two or more parts being played at the same time while singing or trying out vocal compositions and chants.

Your little Music Maker will discover the sights and sounds of the Orchestra, be introduced to a variety of orchestral instruments, and begin to recognize their different sounds as they listen to recordings of solos and ensembles.   

Through the work of patterns and song repertoire, combined with movement and sound, your child will begin to visualize the written language of music. Wait for those AHA! moments as they discover they can actually READ short snippets of music with UNDERSTANDING.  

In Music Makers, your little musician will soon learn to trust in his own capacities as he begins to sing, move, create, and express himself musically. You'll see an increase in symbolic thinking, concentration, and memory over time contributing to your child's total development. 

Parents, you'll feel so supported through our weekly Parent Time at the end of each class. It's the special part of class when children and their grown-ups share the joy of group music making. You'll learn aurally just like your child and experience her delight as you play a singing game or do a circle dance together. 

Music Makers receive a special tote bag and binder for class materials, a digital download code for a new collection of songs and listening games, a beautifully illustrated folder filled with a song/activities book, notation games, more activities, a certificate and special pin for their tote bag each time they complete a new part of their Nature Walk.
