is a music and movement program for families with infants and young children. Each class develops musical sensitivity through natural musical expression such as singing, playing of instruments, story telling and creative movement.
Children Love Music !
Through listening and active participation children develop confidence, self- regulation and delight in their mastery of musical concepts such as beat, rhythm, tempo and pitch. (Although they think they are just having fun) Both parent and children have an aesthetic experience in a musical and playful environment. The one hour program not only introduces your baby and preschoolchildren to many new songs and lap games but also builds a repertoire of activities for parents to continue to do at home. Parents discover the magic of music as they sing songs confidently with their children while driving, waiting for appointments and just for the pure joy of it.
During a class parents/caregivers and children will be exposed to a variety of musical instruments while they are moving, singing, listening or participating.At musical motion we have class sets of bells, shakers and drums. Jane might accompany them with her singing voice, recorder or ukulele.
