Little Music Makers
Miss Katie of Firelight KIDS approaches early childhood music with a fresh perspective. Her class engages a wide range of ages (6 months – 5 years) and their caregivers. The “and” is the most important part, because children in the Little Music Makers program have the chance to bond with their caregivers while enriching their musical, cognitive and physical development. With no performance expectations, children are entitled to absorb information in their own ways. Miss Katie puts an increased focus on the caregiver experience, leading them in fun yet simple rhythmic patterns, dances and activities. When caregivers are having a good time in class, our littlest participants observe music education from the adults they trust the most. Experience the good vibes and let Miss Katie lead you and your littles on a high-energy musical adventure!
Intended Audience: 6 months – 5 years old and a caregiver. Siblings under 6 months attend for free.
Duration: 45 minutes (six-class series)
Cost: $125 (six-class series)
Toddler Music
Come join us for the sweet sounds and movements of our toddler music class led by the talented Ms. Kirsten! Developed specifically for early childhood, the First Steps in Music curriculum will have your little one exploring a world of sound right here in our beautiful, sunlit space.
Classes begin with 15 minutes of free play for caregiver and child. An assortment of musical instruments, sound-making, and movement-friendly toys are made available. Caregivers are encouraged to engage with the toys and instruments and lead children in musical exploration! From there, we circle up for a guided “musical workout” which includes Pitch Exploration, Echo and Call-and-Response Songs, Movement Exploration, Finger Plays, Action Songs, Simple Circles & Songs, Beat Motions, Arioso (“spontaneous” songs), and Songtales (teacher sings a story for the class). Caregivers should participate alongside their children, learning all the songs and rhymes for repetition at home.
Intended Audience: Walkers – 5 years old and a caregiver. Siblings under 12 months attend for free.
Duration: 45 minutes (six-class series)
Cost: $125 (six-class series)
