NW Music TT2C Toddler Tunes 2 Music Class & Materials for 22 mo - 3 1/2 yrs

Parents/caregivers share in making music with their child in class and are guided to continue daily musical activities at home. Toddler Tunes provides a wonderful bonding opportunity for parent and child and the motivating music makes it fun for the whole family. A wide variety of musical styles are introduced in the Toddler Tunes series – traditional children’s songs, folk songs (from varied cultures), melodies from the classics, even ragtime, jazzy, and Broadway styles. A variety of meters are explored to help children develop their natural rhythmic pulse. Recent brain research has shown that children who feel a steady pulse are much more likely to become good readers.

Exposure to a wide range of key centers and modes provides a strong ear training basis for later playing and creative activities. Because toddlers are learning music naturally – much as they learn language – the opportunity to repeat patterning (melody and rhythm) is critical. The group setting (children with a parent/caregiver) offers the ideal vehicle to provide needed repetition through many varied activities. Our teachers are trained to understand how young children learn and experience music. Multi-sensory activities provide positive experiences for all tots and invite all styles of learners to become actively involved.
