Mommy and Baby/Kids Programs

11-18 months with parent

Sing, clap hands, play percussion instruments, march and play games with your toddlers in this fun mommy/toddler course. Designed to improve coordination and introduce toddlers to tone, pitch, rhythm and tempo, Toddler Song is also a great opportunity for moms and toddlers to practice their socialization skills and relax together in a safe, creative environment.

Preschooler Song-Thursdays, 10:30-11:15am (October 4-November 1)
19-36 months with parent
$40 for pair/5 week course

Similar to our Toddler Song course, Preschooler Song develops physical and musical coordination skills by emphasizing rhythmic patterns, stepping in time, pitch and lyrics into musical and social play time. This is a great opportunity for moms to spend active quality time with their preschoolers.

Kid Song-Thursdays, 11:30-12:15am (October 4-November 1)
3-5 years with parent
$40 for pair/5 week course

An extension of Toddler Song and Preschooler Song, Kid song places a stronger emphasis on developing music through group participation. Kids will learn to sing rounds, create and keep tempo through hand-clapping, foot stomping, tambourines, maracas, bells and shaker eggs. Old favorites like "London Bridge" and "The Wheels on the Bus" will be revisited as the kids add physicality and simple choreography to familiar musical numbers. Good exercise and a great socialization opportunity, for moms and kids.
