About the class
Our most advanced class is the perfect place for your budding musician to develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music, as well as the history and works of its greatest composers. Over the course of year 1 of this two year program, your child will explore rhythm and musical symbols, engage in activities that focus on singing and vocal development. They will also practice playing songs on the glockenspiel in year 1 as well as the two-string dulcimer and recorder in year 2. Classes are 60 minutes in length, and parents are invited to participate in the final activities. Kindermusik home materials allow your family to continue the learning at home with books, CDs, instruments, and more.
