Tiny Hands, Parent & Me!
Ages 5-7
Early Childhood Piano and Music Education
Tiny hands and wiggly bodies doesn’t mean children ages 5-7 can’t learn LOTS of music and play the piano! Enjoy a weekly experience with your child, immersed in high-quality music education and joy of learning. Of course, jammies are always welcomed!
[expander_maker id=”1″ more=”READ MORE” less=”READ LESS”] What we learn through vocalization, repetition, games, and parent-child interaction:Melody/harmony, singing, solfege, rhythm, reading/notation and keyboard technique for smaller fingers.
Historically speaking, children who start in this age group are primed to develop advanced skills in music reading, finger technique, ear-training and musicianship with earlier entry into private instruction on all instruments. Younger children are invited to repeat the course until prepared to continue to the next level, or private lessons.
