SUMMER CLASSES
Pathways – age 4 – 6 This comprehensive curriculum is taught through four age-appropriate development principles:
- Hearing – each child learns to listen carefully, developing the ability to concentrate, discriminate, identify, and enjoy the relationship of sounds
- Rhythm – children respond to patterns in songs and games with large and small body movement
- Reading – each child learns to identify the symbols of music, approaching music-reading as a natural extension of the listening process
- Playing – children develop facility at the keyboard, coordinating and refining the areas of hearing, moving and reading
Piano lessons are saved for a later time, after the child has had a broad introduction to reading and understanding music. Pathways students enjoy musical games, crafts, and musical stories. Materials: I Can Play Keyboard Series and Hello Music Workbooks
