History
Fully trained, registered Sing With Me teachers lead groups of six to twelve children and their parents or caregivers (nannies, babysitters, grandparents, or relatives) in forty-five minutes of music and movement experiences. Each weekly class offers a dozen songs and rhythmic rhymes, including fingerplays, small- and large-movement activities, and instrument play. Children and their adults have opportunities to create and improvise--making up new words to songs, offering movement ideas, making silly sounds, and sharing musical ideas from the family's play at home. The relaxed, playful, non-performance-oriented classroom setting respects and supports the unique learning styles, developmental levels, and temperaments of all participants. This creates a strong sense of community. Try out our demonstration class and see how well your child responds before you enroll. If you have children of different ages, come to one of our mixed aged classes!
Specialties
Sing With Me is children and their grownups joyfully sharing songs, rhymes, movement, and instrument play, both in music class and in their daily lives. A pioneer in early childhood music and movement education, Sing With Me offers classes for children from birth through kindergarten, in which parents and caregivers actively participate. All children are sounders and movers, and their natural aptitude for music blossoms in a sufficiently rich music environment. In fact, when given a supportive music environment, children learn to sing and dance as naturally as they learn to walk and talk.
