Music Wonderland
Music Wonderland (MW - age 3) is designed to provide children with an introduction to music in a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. Together with their parents, children experience singing, introductory keyboard activities, movement, and listening to music. Music Wonderland lays the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyable music making through these carefully planned activities.
Course length: 28 / 36 total weeks over two semesters
Class schedule: One 40-minute class per week
Parent participation: Yes
Student Age: Children must have reached their 3rd birthday by September 1st for fall semester classes and by February 1st for a spring semester start. This requirement helps ensure that children are enrolled in a course for which they are developmentally ready.
Curriculum
Listening Ability
As this is a most significant period of aural development, a rich and varied array of listening activities develops sensitivity and listening ability and enables students to perceive music's power to vividly express images and emotions.
Social Development
Because of the importance of the parent in the life of a child this age, interaction between parent and child is an important focus in the group lessons. Also, through the group lessons children develop the basic skills of relating to other children and adults.
Keyboard Experience
Children experience sound through the keyboard and are introduced to the fun of keyboard playing. Appropriate to this stage in their physical development, initial playing activities engage the use of large motor skills.
Cultivation of the Imagination
Recognizing the significance of fantasy, play, and the imagination in the learning of children of this age, the activities, textbooks, and music are filled with suitable colorful, playful imagery, sounds, and subjects.
Grouping: Students are grouped according to age and maturity. Classes are occasionally regrouped to provide the best learning situation. MW students who turn four during the year are strongly encouraged to complete the entire course (36 lessons) before moving to JMC.
Upon Completion of the Course
For students and parents, the course establishes an outstanding foundation and motivation for enriched study and skill development in the Junior Music Course.
