CITIES! BUSY PLACES - FRIENDLY FACESImagine That enhances your child’s overall learning process through a remarkable blend of music, singing, movement, literature, instrument exploration and pretend play. With music as the common thread, each of the 15 lessons provides an opportunity for the child to reflect, compare, make choices, express opinions and preferences and engage in problem-solving activities. Sidewalks, elevators, skyscrapers, and world-traveling photographers are central to this semester’s “Cities” theme. With pretend play as the focus, we will build a city out of handcrafted “buildings” and walk down sidewalks made of paper and tape. Children attend alone for the first 35 minutes; parent/caregiver joins class for the last 10 minutes. Bring $62 ($56 for previous IT students), payable to Susan Henning at the 1st class, to cover required home materials: two home CDs, two literature books, manipulative play set, family activity book, nylon backpack and instruments—a pair of resonator bars.

“Young Child®“ prepares kids ages 5-7 for private music lessons. Through 4 sequential semesters, your child will learn how to read both rhythmic and musical notation, helping ensure their successful transition to private piano, violin, etc. “Young Child” provides the opportunity to explore voice development, rhythm, notation, musical symbols and authentic pre-keyboard, string and woodwind instruments. Students explore many facets of the musical experience–speaking, singing, moving, dancing, listening, creating and playing instruments, as well as learning to read and write music. As the capstone to the child’s Kindermusik journey, “Young Child” broadens and deepens the child’s introduction to the fulfillment and excitement of musicianship. For 5 year olds Everything your child learns later in semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we’ll learn a keyboard instrument—the glockenspiel—which will be used throughout all the Young Child classes. Bring $75, payable to Susan Wilson Henning at the 1st class, to cover required home materials which includes a glockenspiel, nylon carry bag, home CD, games bag and family songbook.

Kindermusik for the Young Child™ Reading music and playing the glockenspiel, which give children the opportunity to learn simple melodies and accompaniments, are the emphases of this semester. Activity pages encourage first experiences with “reading” and “writing” music. Semester 2 has enough review during the first few weeks to allow a child to enter the program now with complete success. Parent/caregiver attends final 10 minutes of class. There will be an additional charge of $55 for continuing students ($575 for new Young Child students), payable to Susan Henning at the 1st class, to cover required home materials which include a home CD, children’s folder, manipulatives, handouts, and family songbook. |
