In The Music Garden, our Pre-piano I classes for 4.5 to 6 yr olds will have activities presented in a developmentally sound, playful manner. The focus is on learning through process rather than performance. The children love exploring music and instruments through their natural interest in the world around them.
Throughout the year, we will be doing a wide variety of hands-on activities, designed to build a strong musical foundation through:
Drumming and percussion instrument play
Developing the singing voice
Movement, both creative and structured
Building the necessary listerning skills to lead to long-term success in instrumental studylearning Beginning the process of learning about orchestral instruments

The physical presence of an attentive/engaged adult (parent or caregiver) at these classes is required for the child's success / enjoyment of these experiences. The child NEEDS the physical presence, human touch and companionship of an attentive, engaged adult.
The teacher will supply the information, the visuals and ideas and the physical modeling....the companion adult will then, in person, model absorbing the information, implement the visuals / ideas and mimicking / partnering the phuysical actions.
