Musicians & Artists program

Updated: Sep 19

KindermusikbySally offers programs to nurture your young Musician & Artist.

Preparation, prerequisite, placement for the program is done in Kindermusik’s Level 3&4 classes ( for ages 3-5 or 4-6). Special Level 3 & 4 family classes available for 2-5 yos available for families with younger children or siblings looking to prepare for the program (family classes require a caregiver to stay). (It can take 1 term to 3 years to prepare for the program depending on your child’s development).

#kindermusikmusicians curriculum is a 2 year program for 5-8 yos recently updated, designed to create a foundation for future Music & Arts including preparing a child for traditional lessons & school programs.

#discoverymeadowstudio has extensions and classes that incorporate visual arts, theater & instruments for children upto 10 years old.

Kindermusik teaches the way children learn - with movement, play, exploration; in social situations with family & friends. As the children develop & mature we integrate group coordination, reading & writing.

Creative development in music & arts includes a variety of instruments including #voice #keyboard #piano #stringinstruments (like ukulele & dulcimer) #windinstruments (like recorder, harmonica ) #percussion (glockenspiel, drums, shakers, bells, and more).

Includes learning theory, notation, improvisation, ensemble, storytelling, history/genres, and more. Curriculum designed by a leader in early childhood music education, taught by a specialist in early childhood arts & an accredited educator.

In class with others at their age/level & with the love & support of their families & friends they learn rituals, cooperation, boundaries, class structure. We utilize a child's bond with family by including the family at pick up AND provide home activities & tools designed to provide practice of skills (& fun) at home with family. There will also be opportunities for children to share & expand on their particular creative spark/interest… voice, movement, storytelling, instrument, art.

Also available extentions and instruction in visuals arts or a particular instruments. Visuals can include prop making, murals, sculpture/constructs, variety of media. I can provide basic extentions/lessons in voice, keyboard/piano, ukulele, recorder.

Each term #kindermusikbysally includes family fun special events. And in the spring & fall we add a Low stress presentation where the class invites family & friends to see what they've learned in class. I like to describe these presentations as similar to an old fashioned backyard play where the children are guided by me to produce and tell a story. The children will share their favorite activities, music, and even help create props & a story. (See pictures below which include making instruments & props, ensemble play, story telling with puppets & movement & music- inspired by classical, folk, & modern composers/artists )

Class placement requires

either Level 4 prerequisite OR consultation for placement.
