Little Prodigies classes are based on the belief that young children embrace music more when they are free to play and make discoveries as they play.

MISSION

To encourage music in the home by offering quality music experiences and learning for preschool children and their parents.

What is Little Prodigies?

Little Prodigies offers a series of classes for preschool toddlers, and their parents.  These weekly classes provide rich music environments where children may explore a variety of musical instruments, recordings, songs, and music toys with the gentle assistance of parents and teacher.  Parents and teachers serve as partners in the play, and learn ways to expand children’s understanding as they observe, label behaviors, and make music with each child.

How It Works

*Classes held once a week

*15 lessons per semester

*50 minutes in length (Music Explorers & Music Makers)
*30 minutes in length (Tiny Tots)

*Tiny Tots Tuition: $150 a semester (or 38$ a month)

Music Centers (20 minutes)

Music centers allow the children to explore freely, be creative, make choices, solve problems, and control their environment.  Children are involved in the study of music as they explore tone color (timbre), long and short sounds (rhythm), high and low sounds, pitch), patterns of sound (form), and loud and soft (dynamics).  In addition, the children develop musical skills: singing, listening, playing instruments, creating, and becoming familiar with music symbols in ways appropriate to their age.

Group Class (30 minutes)

Group time allows the children to participate in musical activities with their peers.  Musical exploration is continued as the children are led by an adult in group singing, listening, moving to songs and recorded master works, and other creative activities.  Social awareness and acceptable social behavior are also developed.  Periodically a performing musician visits the class to expose the children to orchestral instruments and classical music literature.
