First Notes

Pre- piano program for 5 to 7 years

Specially designed to bridge the gap between musical play classes and a more formal music education, First Notes is a fun approach to musical literacy.

At First Notes, your child will experience a variety of musical styles, tempos beats and tones, while she learns about music "hands on", through musical games, and age appropriate activities, such as:

• drumming and other percussion instrument play
• vocal exploration, singing and tonal patterning
• ensemble play, choral singing
• ear training
• basic graphic notation
• creative movement / learning about music through movement

First Notes is a 32 week program, starting in September, and ending in June. Classes are 1 hour each week. Parents or care givers join in for sharing time, during the last 15 minutes of each class.

Please note that children must turn 5 by September 30 to attend this program.

• building of memory and symbolic thinking skills
• a musical foundation that transfers to further music lessons (piano, violin, drums, etc.)
• increased co-ordination, and a stronger connection between body and voice
• building of social skills and co-operation , from ensemble work
• ***studies show that musical activities help to build the areas of the brain responsible for mathematics, early reading and language development
