Animal Adventures in Music
Music Introductory Classes for 2-6 Year Olds
A New Type of Music Class for Children & Toddlers
This private music lesson program for ages 2-6 gives students a head start in music in a FUN way! Unlike other music lessons for students this age, this program by Animal Adventures in Music teaches a robust, comprehensive curriculum, covering topics from rhythm to note reading to instrument introduction and exposure, all through games, activities, and fun weekly homework!
Lessons in an individual, one-to-one format (one teacher, one student) give students the ability to move at their own pace and explore their own interests. the private one-to-one feel of the program ensures that no child is going to be rushed to grasp a concept and they can take their time exploring the world of music and have a blast while doing it!
We chose this curriculum because not only does it teach kids the basics of music theory, it also tells engaging stories. While learning about the mouthpiece of the flute, students are simultaneously working with Bianca the Bee to find the missing flute pieces stolen by some pesky ants.
10 Levels, 10 Books, 10 Instruments
This program covers 10 instruments throughout a series of 10 levels. Throughout this exciting program, your child will travel through 10 themed books with their teacher, exploring a different instrument in each. Every book is filled to the brim with learning activities, games, stickers and more and easily divides the program into 10 extremely structured levels, each of which builds off the previous. As your child completes each level, they will receive a special themed medal featuring the colour and animal character from that level.
By the time your child graduates from this impressive program, they will be able to identify and understand basic music symbols, read and clap rhythms from quarter note to sixteenth note, and read three octaves of notes on the grand staff, in addition to learning about instruments such as the piano, guitar, drums, violin, cello, clarinet, saxophone, and more!
Table Time, Rug time, Stage Time
The classes are split into 3 sections – Table, Rug and Stage. Each section is 10 minutes long and jam-packed with fun and learning.
