ABOUT THIS CLASS
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to the Treblemaking Tots Music Experience, a magical journey designed for little ones aged 12 to 36 months and their cherished grown-ups. Step into the world of musical wonder as we embark on this joyous exploration of fundamental milestone-based music education — all in an operational ensemble room at the JCC’s Dorothy Delson Kuhn Music Institute for optimal musical exposure!
In this dynamic and engaging class, we go beyond the ordinary, creating a rich experience that nurtures both the development and joy of your entire family. Our carefully crafted activities are tailored to spark curiosity, joy, and connection, leaving a lasting impact on your child's early development for ages 12 to 36 months old.
As your tots begin to discover the enchanting world of music, our program immerses them in an experience where wonder and growth intersect, allowing them to master new musical skills. Our class isn't just about the notes and rhythms; it's about fostering a love for music that will resonate throughout their lives.
Recognizing that early childhood development is a shared adventure, our class actively involves parents and caregivers as equal partners in the musical journey. Through shared moments of triumph and the building of supportive networks, families become integral contributors to the musical growth unfolding in each session, creating a sense of community and empowerment.
Facilitated by experienced leaders and guided by Family Life Education (FLE) principles, our class weaves expert guidance into each musical interaction. From observing your child's musical cues to adapting activities for individual needs, we empower parents to play an active role in their child's musical journey, fostering family dynamics that harmonize with their little one’s current stage of musical exploration. Join us in creating harmonious memories that resonate far beyond the melody of each class.
