Bring your children to a relaxing environment to experience diversity, creativity and fun through music. Kids' Vibrations is a program designed to encourage children to express themselves through music, movement and rhythm.
The program focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach by using music as a medium to explore the world. In our daily exercises children may learn about geography, literature, reading, culture, science, math or drama all through music. Children will learn and participate in: Ear Music Learn to listen...identify and imitate what you hear.
Rhythm and Movement We learn best by doing... Participate in games and simple exercises learning the basics of rhythm. Singing and Acting Expression... Learn new twists to old songs and how to dramatize and create new songs. World Music One of music's most fascinating aspects is its breadth of diversity... Each class will involve discovering a new instrument, story or song from other cultures. Local Performers Every session has a local performer(s) from the community to share an instrument or style of music with the session. Students from the studio also frequently perform their pieces at Kids' Vibrations.
