All babies are born with an aptitude for music, but research shows this
capacity diminishes if it is not nurtured through active music making. This
class offers adults the opportunity to play with their babies in a musical
setting, sharing music and movement activities designed to delight the
child and awaken his or her curiosity about music. Activities include
singing, bouncing songs, rocking songs, and dances in a variety of
tonalities, meters and styles, along with finger plays, wiggle and peek-a-
boo games and echoes. A bond of love and security develops the foundation
for your child to reach his or her full musical potential through listening
skills, beat awareness, vocal production, and aural discrimination.
Home materials include a parent book, CD and small instrument kit with
wooden rattle, pair of sticks and scarf.
