In Young Child Semester 1, your child develops instrument-playing skills with the introduction of the glockenspiel. Through creative learning activities, you'll be astonished as your child begins to read music notes and to create musical compositions - tangible accomplishments that instill positive emotions about their own musicality. Mozart is the featured composer as we listen to many of his compositions. Other listening repertoire includes "The Clock" by Haydn,  "The Aviary" from "Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Saens and the percussion and brass families and their individual instruments. Your child will discover a new knowledge of aural skills, pitch and tone, reading and writing music using the glockenspiel, while further developing their singing voice.

Young Child Semester 3 is the third semester of this exceptional program. Children now receive a two-string dulcimer and learn to play songs. Children continue with the glockenspiel, playing melodies and using new mallet-crossing techniques. Tchaikovsky is our featured composer this semester as we listen to many selections from the "Nutcracker." In Semester 3, children musically explore the various cultures of Appalachia, sailors, Native Americans, African-Americans, New Orleans jazz and ballet, tap and jazz dancing. Concepts in Semester 3 are added staff notes b and low d, Half Rest, Whole Note, Half Note, Dotted Half Note; Three-and Four-Beat Meter; improvisation and composition. Students must have completed Semester 2 before signing up for Semester 3.
