Our Baby Music classes introducesplayful musical activities to help the baby and parent or caregiver to bond. The teacher will play the role of a coach, teaching parents the many ways they can play musically with their babies. The teacher will lead musical activities such as bouncing and rocking songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, singing, dancing, and moving.
These activities benefit the child in a myriad of ways, including nurturing a bond of love and security, increasing a child's natural curiosity about music, and developing a child's listening skills as well as a sense of flow and beat through movement. These classes will help you to understand the importance of musical play in daily life.
During the 5th month in utero, the baby's developing brain begins to receive input from the now functional auditory system. Parents can contribute to this input by talking and reading to the baby, as well as listening to music, and SINGING and moving with it!
Therefore, attending and participating in the Baby Music classes (with your favorite doll!) will prepare both Mother and Baby for another set of joys for life after birth with the live doll!!
Once the baby is born and Mom takes needed time for her recovery, Mom and baby return to continue classes remaining in that semester. Upon registering for the next seemester to continue at The Music Garden, Mom receives tuition credit for any classes missed due to the birth and recovery....as well as a full month's tuition credit as a gift from The Music Garden!!
