| What happens in an itsy bitsy class? |
For example, in an itsy bitsy music class....
- Singing fosters the development of your child's most important instrument, the voice, through vocal exploration, songs and chants.
- Moving develops body awareness, coordination and spatial relationships, through synchronized movement, creative movement and simple dances.
- Playing instruments introduces a variety of musical timbres with percussive instruments such as rhythm sticks, jingle bells, resonator bars and more. Never a wrong note.
- Creating stimulates your child's imagination and encourages self-expression with sound and movement.
- Patterning boosts your child's ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language.
- Listening cultivates your child's heightened attentiveness to sound discrimination.
- Exploring timbre, dynamics, tempo and pitch lays the foundation for conceptualization of elements of music.
