Children need lots of time playing with music to develop their full potential.
Preschoolers need to bang and wiggle and sing to their hearts’ content. They need to explore and experiment. Children love music, and that love reinforced through play now will help them with music lessons when they start in Grade 2. Our goal is to get them addicted to music early!
Rhythm, Rhyme and Story Time programs provide basic training for the parents. We believe that the parent is the first and foremost teacher for the child. The best person for a child to listen to and sing with is an adult that they are emotionally connected to. Even if the adult isn’t the best singer, a child will learn more and remember it longer if they sing with someone important to them. A daily ten-minute music program with a mother or father is more beneficial than shipping them off to “trained professionals”. That will come soon enough.
Rhythm, Rhyme and Story Time provides opportunities for a child to experience music cuddled with the person most important to them, playing with instruments that are loads of fun, without interruptions from TV, telephone, or the dog. What better way could there be to start the day!
Group settings provide music experiences to reinforce parents’ activities! Children learn from other children. Watching other parents and children interact provides new ideas for development at home. Group settings provide structure, listening opportunities, and new instruments for exploration. Children do best when daily music programs from parents are linked to structured group programs with trained professionals and other families. |
