The UCA Community School of Music will offer an 8-week Kindermusik course for babies and their parents beginning Friday, March 5.
Imagine your child swinging softly in a blanket or dancing with you around a maypole. Kindermusik Village provides a delightful environment unlike any other. Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that includes creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, your baby’s growth and development are stimulated and all of his senses engaged.
Kindermusik Village, for children newborn to 1? years of age, incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement. High quality, professionally created class and at-home materials include Kindermusik Foundations of Learning, insights based on current research that educate parents about their babies’ unique development.
Benefits for Your Child and You:
1) Educates you about your baby’s total development through Kindermusik Foundations of Learning – statements based on the most recent research.
2) Encourages joyful participation in a music making community.
3) Nurtures bonding between you and your child through intentional touch warm-ups, exercises, interactive dances and musical play.
4) Provides natural connections between singing and reading out loud, listening and communicating through literature books.
Enjoy the Journey All Week Long
Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class. The at-home materials each parent receives from the educator are just the tools needed to continue that one-of-a-kind experience together as a family. While seeds of learning are planted through music in the classroom, parents will use the at-home materials to cultivate lifelong learning.
Family involvement in each child’s learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy, which stresses that the parent is the child’s most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child’s learning to take root and grow. After all, there’s no better way to nurture your child’s development and you’ll love doing it together every day!
Alicia Manion Williams will be teaching the 30-minute Kindermusik Village class, which will meet at Noon on Fridays, in SFAC 107. Tuition for the class is $95 and home materials, which can be purchased on the first day of class, cost approximately $35.
To register, or for additional information, contact the CSM office at 450-5755 or 450-3672. Kindermusik for children, ages 18-months thru 4 years is also offered through the Community School.
