Toddler Music Class: for ages 16 months-5 years: In this class both children and their grown-ups learn about a different style of music each week from various cultures- including ours. I incorporate familiar, educational, energetic movement songs with and without the guitar teaching rhythm, and melody where we jump up and down, teach about colors, and numbers, find on a map where the music we are learning about is from, note values, and the history about the music we are learning about. I also have a rotation of various rhythmic instruments to play to the actual style of music (not a children's version) that I bring in each week as well as an instrument that is heard in the style of music we are learning about to learn about, touch, and play, and recognize within the music. We also dance, have a free play with my mixed bag of percussion instruments, and end with either bubbles or a parachute. Most importantly, I disinfect all of the instruments before and after each class to help avoid the spread of germs (my guitar included).

Baby Music Class: for ages 3-15 months: Like the toddler class, a different style of music is introduced each week from various cultures- including ours. I incorporate familiar, educational, rhythmic songs using simple movements  with and without the guitar bonding you with your child, and a rotation of various rhythmic instruments to play with (to the actual style of music as well). We learn about basic colors and numbers, and I talk about the history of the music we're learning about to the grown-ups as well. We also dance and rotate in pairs, so the babies are able to see each other, and I end with a parachute or bubbles as well. Most of this class occurs on the floor minus the dance section, and like the toddler class, I disinfect all of the instruments and toys before and after each class (guitar included).
