Preschooler Classes

Preschool Music Classes

Three and four-year-olds are savvy and experienced and delight in playing guessing games about the instruments and their sounds with the teacher.  Showing increased voice control and a closer approximation of pitch and rhythm, some can sing an entire song with accuracy. The teacher encourages them to act out stories, play singing games, and use movement in meaningful ways. Basic musical notation is introduced, and the teacher helps the children make a connection between the notes they hear, and the notes they see on the board: a first step to reading music. Four-year-olds are now ready to choose an instrument they would like to play or perhaps join our keyboard group lessons.

Preschool Creative Art Classes

In the three-year-old class, the children draw more from the imagination, and discuss their ideas and feeling. They may work on group art as a class, or in small groups or pairs, but primarily they work individually. A little more time is spent on projects to explore them more fully. During the critical analysis segment, they may study how the masters created their art, and how the art makes us feel, exploring our emotions more. Again, renowned paintings or music are used to stimulate their own creative process. They use a few more advanced artistic techniques as needs change and skills develop, adding more technically demanding projects. They learn more specifics about art basics, and develop an emotional language.
