Please join us on Monday Mornings at 10:00 am Starting July 5th for special classes at my home studio for the summer: 5950 SE Kelly St, Portland! To sign up call 503-708-2827 today!

Bringing children of all ages together provides a dynamic and integrated learning experience for everyone. So we took favorite Kindermusik songs and activities like “Shake, Shake the Apple Tree” and “hammocking” and rolled them into a fun, family class where each child is welcomed and valued and family “together time” is celebrated and cherished.

What Families Experience in Class:

• Singing -- From the first “Hello” song to the last “Goodbye,” exploring a variety of musical styles and genres leads children to find their own voice. Plus singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization.
• Assorted Movement -- Whether moving as a family, as a class, or as individuals, Family Time movement activities enhance coordination skills, create opportunities for imitation and exploration, and give everyone something to smile, rock, bounce, or dance about.
• Story Time -- Reading aloud to children stimulates their curiosity, expands their knowledge, and broadens their understanding of language.
• Family Jam -- Children as well as adults will love selecting a unique instrument and joining in one big class jam instrument play along session each week.
• Musical Concepts -- Fun engaging activities bring out the musicality in everyone, from the youngest member of the family to the oldest. Families learn more about music as they learn more about each other.
• Expert advice -- A Kindermusik educator explains how the musically based activities enhance each child’s complete development.

• Learning continues at home -- With the home materials, the learning and bonding continues at home with the child’s best teacher—the parent!

In Make Way for Music, families will sing, dance, and move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high and low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. They’ll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam.
