Music begins with me...
Starting this month, I am attending music classes at Mandeville Music School. It's a Baby Music Class, for toddlers 2-3 years old.
Lesson is every Saturday for 45 mins. Mummy gets to go in with me and there are about 10 children in the class. The music teacher will play some songs on the piano and we will sing and dance along with the music. We also play on simple musical instruments and learn some simple music theory.
==============================================
Baby Music Course:
Every kid is musical and creative.
Kids make music—by singing and tapping, by playing around on instruments, or by playing with others in an ensemble. Kids create music—even a kid as young as 2 years old can and do improve their own music.
When the kids develop their abilities to make and create music, they will develop their intelligence and enrich their lives forever.
Curriculum
The curriculum is designed to expose the children to all facts of music, before embarking on specialized courses in piano, violin or any other instrument.
Music concepts are taught using a combination of colourful visual props, real instruments, lots of drama-pretending, art and craft materials, games as well as live and recorded music performances.
The children are also trained in performance skills so that they may display their newfound knowledge in the many concert opportunities offered at Mandeville.
Course Objective:
· To explore the fascinating world of music through fun and play
· To develop social skills and self-esteem through group interaction
· To encourage musicianship through regular ad-hoc performances
· To stand out and be heard!
Course Outline:
Kids will learn about:
1. Music Rhythm, Pitch, Tempo. Dynamics and Literacy
2. Orchestra Instruments and Percussions
3. Classical Music Works for Music Appreciation and Drama
4. Composers (Mozart, Beethoven, etc)
5. Alternative Music Genres (Jazz, Latin, etc)
