Young Child helps every child develop a
confident, joyful voice for singing and
speaking as well as essential building blocks
for a future of learning. Designed for children
ages 4½ through 7 years, classes meet once
a week. Students explore many facets of the
musical experience-speaking, singing,
moving, dancing, listening, creating and
playing instruments, as well as learning about
reading and writing music. As the capstone to
the child's Kindermusik journey, Young Child
broadens and deepens the child's
introduction to the fulfillment and excitement of
musicianship.
Benefits for Your Child and You
Enjoy the Journey All Week Long
Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class.
And your At Home materials you receive from
your teacher are just the tools you need to
continue that one-of-a-kind experience together
as a family. While we plant the seeds of learning
through music in the classroom, you will use the
At Home materials at home to cultivate lifelong
learning.
Family involvement in your child’s learning is a
fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik
philosophy because we believe the parent is the
child’s most important teacher and the home is
the most important place for a child’s learning to
take root and grow. After all, there’s no better way
to nurture your child’s development – and you’ll
love doing it together – every day!

| Kindermusik Young Child 5 to 7 years New term Saturday Mornings from September 2008 enrolling soon... Glór, Ennis, County Clare booking: 065-6843103 |
What to expect during Year 2
Kindermusik for the Young Child:
Appalachian music is a featured musical
style at the beginning of this year. First, you
and your child will build a two-stringed
dulcimer instrument with materials that we'll
provide. Then in class we'll learn to play
chords and simple melodies on the
instrument you built together. We'll also
explore rhythm concepts through dance with
an introduction to the basic steps in jazz,
ballet, and tap dances. Your At Home
Materials include dulcimer-making materials,
activity cards, and music which features
recordings from Appalachia,
African-America, and Native American music,
as well as the Western Art music of the
Nutcracker Suite.
In this final term we'll introduce the recorder
instrument. As your child is introduced to
basic methods of playing simple melodic
patterns and songs on this wind instrument,
we'll also incorporate the instruments,
concepts, and songs from previous
semesters. With a special emphasis on
multi-cultural music, your child will learn to
improvise and write music, as well as
experience the musical styles of the Pacific
Islands, Europe, Bach, and Africa; plus play
special dances and children's games from
around the world, including Alpine dances,
Mexico, and Ecuador.

What will my Child lean in Year 1 of
Kindermusik for the Young Child?
Everything your child learns later in any
music lesson begins with this early
introduction to singing, reading, and
writing music and rhythm. Through
dances and games that focus on rhythmic
development, we'll learn a keyboard
instrument—the glockenspiel—which will
be used throughout all the Young Child
classes (both years 1 and 2). Your At
Home Materials provide the music,
instruments, stickers, and activities for a
home version of the same playful activities
you'll hear about from class, so your child—
and you!—can learn where you're most
comfortable: at home.
Playing simple musical patterns and songs
on the featured instrument from the first
term—the glockenspiel—is a central
focus in the second term. While learning to
sing a melody, and then play the pattern
on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into
the understanding of musical concepts
such as piano and forte through orchestra-
style music such as William Tell Overture,
and Peter and the Wolf. Music
appreciation and understanding continues
with a complete introduction to the
instruments—and the families in which
they're grouped—of the orchestra.
