Tots & Tunes is a joyful, high-energy interactive circle time designed for little ones and their grown-ups to explore sound and movement together. These weekly sessions use sensory-rich play to spark early childhood development.
Unlock the secrets of music in this active, beginner-friendly course. Whether you already read music or are just starting out, you will learn to decode printed notation, symbols, pitch, and rhythm. From there, you will journey through time and geography to explore global music history—from classical masters like Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms to the diverse genres of today. Master the art of listening by analyzing musical forms and textures, a skill that deeply enriches both concert-goers and performers. You will bring these concepts to life through a hands-on approach using singing, playing, and a little dancing!
Children will enjoy exploring favorite stories through improvisation. Participants will have the opportunity to use their imaginations as they embody different characters through a wide variety of games, exercises, and guided, interactive storytelling. The class will culminate in a final share for family and friends.
