Through singing, movement, listening, and rhythm activities, kids will strengthen their listening, coordination, and focus.

Piano Explorers!
For students age 4-6.
A hands-on class for young children who would like to have fun in a kinesthetic group class, emphasizing piano basics, movement, visual art, and singing as a catalyst to get the fingers working on the keyboard. Guest instruments could appear from time to time, such as Celtic harp; hand drums, to reinforce rhythms and steady beat in children, a piano basics skill; ukuleles; and Tibetan singing bowls. Learning about how these other instruments work gives a basis to the piano work as well. Parents are asked to join us!
