Summertime is here, and if you have young children, thoughts are turning to vacations, sports activities, and time at the beach. For most children, this is the most exciting time of the year, one in which they can laugh, sing, and play. As thoughts turn to Fall activities, we would like to introduce your children to a place where they can enjoy these summertime experiences all year long. Musical Foundations is a community education program that introduces children to the wonderful world of music in three unique ways. If you desire your children to experience the world of music in an open and engaging atmosphere that prepares them for a lifetime of musical enjoyment, we invite you to continue reading to learn more about the programs we have to offer.

For more than 25 years, Kindermusik ® has helped over a million children and their families discover how music can enrich their lives and lay the foundation for a lifetime love of learning. Babies as young as three months smile and babble as their parents rock and sway with them to the beat of the music. Toddlers light up as they guess the animals they hear on a recording and then proudly do their own imitations. And pre-schoolers giggle with delight as they flap their arms, pretending to be birds. From birth to seven years of age, children can grow with Kindermusik without the pressure to perform, just the encouragement to explore, express, and discover.

Research proves that early integration of music into your child’s daily routine means improving his ability to think, reason, create, and express. As trained and licensed educators, we will provide carefully researched, developmentally appropriate music and movement programs for children, both in class and at home.

Three levels of education are available from Musical Foundations for your children to laugh, learn, and grow in music. Click here to learn when classes are scheduled.

Music for Young Children ® (MYC) is a program that provides a solid foundation of understanding and enjoyment of music. Singing together creates a special bond. Keyboard playing and rhythm ensembles nurture team skills. Creative movement develops individual expressiveness. Music reading and theory are reinforced with group activities and with colorful, hands-on materials. Composing integrates aural and written skills and gives children a sense of ownership.

In MYC, children meet in small groups, in their own age category, once a week for an hour, accompanied by an adult (parent, grandparent or caregiver) who participates in the program.

All MYC programs cover material designed for the development learning abilities appropriate to the age of the children in the program. The curriculum for each level is carefully geared and paced to the abilities and learning styles for that particular age.

As a performance-based program, your children will develop specific skills that will prepare them for a lifetime of music; ready to learn, play, and perform well into their teens and beyond.
