Class Descriptions

BabyRound (Newborn - 8 months)

Babies can't get up and dance on their own, but there are amazing ways that they respond when you relate to them musically. In this class, you will learn fun activities that stimulate your baby's natural musical ability. Experience the joy that music can bring to the new world your baby is discovering. Mixed-age classes are also appropriate for babies.

Mixed Ages (Newborn - 4)

In this class, infants, toddlers, 2, 3, and 4 year olds along with their parents or caregivers join together as a musical community. Activities include playing rhythm instruments, having fun with fingerplays, and singing and dancing to music of different meters and tonalities. A mixed-age setting allows children to develop at their own pace the basic skills of singing in tune and keeping an accurate beat. Since there is no set age for these skills to be acquired, these classes provide a non-performance opportunity for musical exploration that the whole family can enjoy.

Ages 3-4 with adult

This class is designed for the older child who has already had a few semesters of a music class. Three and four year olds are still developing their basic music skills, so class activities will be similar to those for mixed-ages described above. Since older children are more willing to lead activities, volunteer suggestions, and create their own tonal and rhythm patterns, this class has a different dynamic than the mixed-age grouping. As in all Kids' MusicRound classes, a parent or special adult will accompany this child to class for interactive music play. Younger siblings are allowed in this class as registered students.

The Next Step (ages 5-7 without an adult)

"The Next Step" is a 60-minute class for children ages 5-7 years without an adult in attendance. During these years it is crucial to encourage your child to continue playing with music. In class, musical concepts will be explored through song, dance, dramatic play, creative movement, improvisation, storybooks and assorted rhythm instruments. Also included is the introduction of the delightful barred ORFF* instruments. Because many children are not ready for the formal structure of a private lesson at this age, this group class is a great first step toward private study. However, it can also be a complement to already established lessons. Currently, this class is only being offered in Pennington and Doylestown.
* ORFF instruments include assorted glockenspiels, xylophones, and metallophones designed just for children.

Special Needs

This class is designed specifically for children with special needs. Each child is accompanied with an adult. Activities are similar to those in the mixed-age setting, but there is freedom for these children to feel comfortable exploring and expressing themselves musically in a relaxed setting.

Movin' Around (ages 4 1/2-6 without an adult)

Without grown-ups, this class provides an opportunity for 4 1/2 - 6 year olds to combine musical fun and fitness. The age group is often not ready for the structure of many organized activities offered. We will enjoy the release of the creative spirit while improvising through dance, exercise and instrument play.
