4 year olds play "See the Pony Galloping" - In this video the song & activity is introduced independent of parent participation. You will hear the teacher singing the song as children play. Later in the class series the children will sing the song on their own. Note that a younger sibling is in the class and he is learning the game at his own level as he watches his older brother follow the directions of the game - he joins in once he has processed the activity in his mind. "Playfulness" is the focus of the activities.
See current class schedule below:
Two children from the Twins Music Class enjoy playing the temple blocks to "Macaroni Pony"
The Two & Three Year Old class enjoys playing with colorful cloths as we sing "This Way Valerie"
Toddlers play the temple blocks on this enjoyable rhyme: "Rickety Rockety Riding Horse." These brothers are at the beginning stages of learning this favorite percussion instrument: learning to hold the mallet, stand at the instrument and begin tapping the blocks.
