ABC
Music & Me is an all new award-winning music enrichment program for
2-6 year olds. This age specific program was created by Kindermusik
International, the world's most trusted brand in musical learning for
over 25 years.
Research shows
that music improves a child’s memory, cognitive development, learning
skills, and ability to express emotion. Music makes a child a better
learner, teaches self-control, improves coordination, enhances
creativity, and inspires a lifetime appreciation of music and movement.
- Tune active listening skills
as children are exposed to a variety of musical genres, sounds, poems,
and stories each month. Critical listening activities help “tune” a
child’s ear for improved areas in language such as phonemic awareness
and pronunciation.
- Invite conversation
about cultures and traditions by listening to music and genres from
around the world, such as jazz, folk, Latin American music, World music,
Bach, and Mozart. Introducing a variety of sounds will provide opportunities to connect the music to other activities throughout the day.
- Pattern recognition improves with exposure to rhythm and repetition of the integrated songs and stories.
- Strengthen memory and increase attention span through new songs, stories, and rhymes with sufficient repetition to help children remember what they’ve learned.
- Boost vocabulary with a variety of poems, songs and stories.
- Music and movement play-along and ensemble activities develop hand-eye-coordination, physical coordination, and a sense of rhythm to help carry out activities such as using a pair of scissors.
- Stop-and-go, as well as creative movement and dance activities improves coordination, sequencing, self-control, the ability to follow directions, and plan and guide behavior.
- Abstract and spatial-reasoning skills develop with the introduction of new music vocabulary, notation, and concepts.
- Child-directed learning happens when children share ideas in class and at home with Home Kits.
First theme for the 5-6 years old - Dance with Me !
This theme, we'll feature the music and dance of "one-two" rhythms,
and "one-two-three" rhythms. In class, we'll hear real instruments
from the ballet and learn a few dance steps, too. Activities like dance, where
your child follows a short sequence of instructions, helps to strengthen memory
and his ability to follow directions. At home, play the CD in your Student Kit
and let your preschooler show you a new step or two.
