The Benefits of Music FunTime
In succession of all the popular reports out of Congress and studies at Johns-Hopkins Research Center about the Magical Connection between Math and Music, we are happy to announce Music FunTime teaching music to children ages 18 months thru 7 years through rhythm, pitch, theory and technique.
Math and Music unite the two hemispheres of the brain – a powerful force for learning. Did you ever consider the skills your child uses when he/she sings a song such as “This Old Man”? He/she is matching and comparing (through pitch, volume and rhythm), patterning and sequencing (through melody, rhythm and lyrics), counting numbers and adding. Add dramatic hand movements or clapping to the beat and you have created an entire package of learning rolled into one song.
Music FunTime is different than the typical preschool music program.
Music FunTime is not a simple play group where children sing, dance, jump & play instruments. We offer an innovated new program, geared from the Johns-Hopkins Research that children 7 and under can learn to read music notation and symbols, eventually, learning to play instruments.
If a child can learn their letters, numbers, shapes, animals etc., why can’t they learn to read music?
Through crafts, worksheets, games, instruments, singing, & very small group classes, we teach children in a fun & exciting way, how to play and read music. Class excitement has proven over & over, the children’s enthusiasm to look forward to weekly music lessons.
Parents participate in class. We change the curriculum every 5 minutes accommodating child’s attention span.
All lessons are geared towards the piano because the piano is a string & percussion instrument. Children not only learn timing, rhythm & tempo they also learn the notes on the grand staff, such as…e,g,b,d,f (every good boy does fine) etc.
Our children also perform at public functions singing with their instruments, a minimum of 2 times per year.
All students are invited to take a free trial class. You and your child will explore music, dance and sing together and more. Your child learns to share, take turns and develop the skills they’ll need in school and on the neighborhood playground. Our Music FunTime classes bring you closer as a family. They are fun, yet educational and an important part of your child’s development.
In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you!

INSTRUMENTS
Students are given a backpack of rhythm instruments at registration to use in class and at home. Throughout the course, additional instruments are provided adding variety, diversity and fun! All students are introduced to piano, guitar, percussion, violin, bells, kazoos, flutophones, recorders and harmonicas.
THEORY
We’ll teach your child to read music in the same manner they are taught letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. We’ve created an array of colorful music teaching tools and worksheets that teach rhythm, pitch, notation, symbols and key signatures.
CRAFTS
Our special “musical crafts” lessons teach children music theory in a fun, artistic way. Kids love it!
PERFORMANCE
Music FunTime offers students the opportunity a few times a year to rehearse in a larger group and perform at public venues. This gives the children the understanding of listening to other performers and grows confidence in themselves.
