Music Cats® - for 4 and 5 year-olds, each with a parent or caregiver.
Music Cats® includes the same FUN spirit as Music Pups®, with more challenging activities designed to capitalize on the ability and creativity of “big kids”. Each class is 45 minutes long. Families receive a copy of the current Music Pups CD and songbook plus an additional Music Cats practice CD. We strongly encourage students interested in taking our Keyboard class to take Music Cats first.
Goals of Music Cats:
-
Improve pitch and rhythm skills. In addition to Music Pups style singing and movement activities, we include individualized tonal and rhythm instruction each week to challenge each student at his or her own level.
-
Develop critical listening skills, such as the ability to identify when notes are correct or incorrect when listening to familiar songs.
-
Learn about instruments. We introduce band and orchestra instruments, and practice identifying the sounds they produce.
-
Experience playing keyboards. Fun keyboarding activities help prepare our students for future keyboard or piano lessons.
-
Develop creative listening skills. When listening to classical music, we ask our students to use their imagination to create a picture in their mind of what the music makes them think of.
