” Music has charms to sooth the savage beast" and also makes children happy.
In our program we are offering music --without notes, clefs or measures, but rather ---fun plays, easy songs and musical activities with movement. The theory has been proven that music is therapeutic. It can calm children down, relax them, and even turn tears into smiles, promoting social interaction --including discipline and harmony among children.
Our program is directed to children between the ages of 3 and 7.
Since rhythm is a vital part of our life --and playing, with rhythm is a major factor in language development and memory-- we will be teaching varied rhythmic experiences. By singing we will be enhancing language skills that, later on, should prove to be helpful with speaking and reading. By making music, children will learn how to achieve happiness through self- expression. By playing with percussion instruments, children will also improve their listening and motor skills, getting a sense of pride in creating something by themselves. In this program they will burn excess energy by their reacting to music with free movement.
Our classes will be taught by professional musicians: a classical pianist and a singer who is currently a doctoral candidate with experience both in teaching this program for a number of kindergartens in Europe, together with formerly having been a dedicated scout leader. Our program is designed to learn by having fun. "LAUGH & LEARN"
