(FOR PARENT ATTENDED CLASSES - SEE SCHOOLS FOR ENRICHMENT CLASSES)

If the goal of a music class is to passionately engage children in the joy of listening, dancing and creating music
together, there is no one better....

SUMMARY
MIXED AGED CLASSES - INFANTS - 5YRS

These fully interactive classes are performed live on guitar and drums.
Families gain the ability to embrace the love and joy of creating music together.
Our material and curriculum are sculpted to inspire an outlet for interactive singing, beat making, dramatic play and dancing to rhythms.
Everyone is a performer in the class.
We incorporate individual instruments and props for each child. (Scroll down to see list.)
We employ a wide variety of exciting tools to keep the class intriguing & fresh.

Overall, this infectious energy inspires a musical bond between the child and caregiver that follows their path from the classroom into the home.

why?

   WHY THIS CLASS? - It's fun & it cares.
         We Care:
   We use first names, we smile, we observe, we
   react, we target your child's needs and interests
   and instill confidence and comfort.
         Music is FUN:
   Our Goal: Music is fun, "Mr. Michael is fun, he
   plays music, I can play music too." When we are
   through we want the children and parents
   begging for music lessons.

what?

    WHAT TO EXPECT? A Discovery & A Celebration
        A DISCOVERY:
    What is that? How does it work? Grab a triangle, a
    tambourine, a bongo, a djembe; smack it, slap it,
    strike it, question it. That's how we learn.

        A CELEBRATION:
    Smile, get up, get down, shake a shaker, put a
    scarf over your head and boogie.
    Children learn from example.

        PARTICIPATION:
    Preschool of Rock classes feed on family
    participation. The more we do the more they do.
    We want everyone singing, drumming, dancing and     laughing. Then bring the party home with
    the PoR CD's.
