ABC Music & Me is an award winning music program that helps 2 to 6 year olds to develop pre-literacy and language skills through a child’s most beloved rituals: music and story time. We’ll sing songs and rhymes to develop phenomic awareness and expressive speech, play instruments to strengthen fine motor skills and improve hand-eye coordination, learn musical concepts and have lots of fun!
- For 2 to 4 year olds with parent or caregiver:
- In this class, you and your child will uncover an engaging musical world together in a warm and welcoming community. You’ll enjoy singing, moving, listening, interacting socially and playing instruments. This class is especially ideal for parents who want to attend class with an Imagine That aged child, or who would like siblings to attend class together.This semester, we’ll be visiting three different themes. (Renton will have two themes over Fall Semester.)
Outside My Window – Your child’s active imagination will help develop the skill of learning to listen. We’ll tune our ears to various sounds, such as footsteps in snow, and use songs and rhymes to act out and describe things to do in different kinds of weather.
Silly All Over – Laugh a little and get silly all over! We will listen to silly sounds, move in silly ways, and read a story about a mouse that puts clothes on all the wrong places. Catch a case of the giggles!
Family and Friends – We’ll focus on those loved ones around us, and develop our social and emotional skills as we make conversations and take turns playing and listening. Cooperative ball play and dancing together will help build a community in class.
- For 4 to 6 year olds alone:
- This class takes you and your child on a musical journey of discovery and exploration. We’ll play instruments, enhance vocal development, and learn keyboard skills and musical concepts through activities that promote problem solving, self-confidence and individual expression. This class is especially ideal for those Imagine That aged children who are wanting more formal instruction, but not yet ready for Kindermusik for the Young Child.This semester, we’ll be visiting three different themes. (Renton will have two themes over Fall Semester.)
Drums, Drums, Drums – We’ll get moving to the beat as your child is introduced to percussion instruments from all over the world. We’ll rhythms and explore fractions as we play “call and response” activities to the sounds of African music.
Feel the Music – Through music, we’ll help your preschooler learn about emotions. We’ll also meet Beethoven and members of the brass family, while exploring major and minor keys.
Jazz Kitchen – Using the multi-talented animals in the story, “Noodles from Scratch,” and jazzy instruments, we’ll be a bunch of cool cats talking about scat singing, and the difference between the white and black keys on a piano.
- At Home Materials:
-
The ABC Music & Me Home Kit contains a variety of age-appropriate literature, activities, and games – all tied to the class content. If it’s sharing a story from class, listening or singing together, the home kit allows a parent to be involved in the learning process in your child’s first and foremost classroom – at home.
- 3 CD’s distributed throughout the semester, containing all the songs, rhymes, stories and sounds heard in class.
- 3 Magazine-style Family Guides which include the stories from class, activity pages, parent notes showing what your child learned in class, and can-do tips to continue the fun and learning at home.
- 2 age-appropriate instruments that relate directly to content and concepts addressed in class.
