their parents. Older children function independently in class with the teacher
while parents observe in the classroom. Half-hour classes.
Birth-2 year olds / $85 for the ten-week session
3-5 year olds / $95 for the ten-week session
Please call (920) 686-6183 for more information or to register.
Since it is well known that children, even from infancy, consistently respond
to music physically and with a sense of well-being, and since research now documents
the enhancement that music can make in the physical, emotional, and intellectual
development of children, the purpose of these classes is to provide a wide repertoire
of age appropriate musical activities: songs, rhymes, movement and playing of
simple instruments. Parents attending these classes learn the songs and activities
and can therefore encourage and support their child in these activities at home.
