Why do your programs involve parents and caregivers?

Question
Why do your programs involve parents and caregivers?
Answer

Parents and other primary care givers play a critical role in their child’s music development.  We not only provide parents with music and activities to take home and repeat throughout the week, but we also encourage meaningful social interaction around the music.

MIRROR: Observe closely and acknowledge your child’s emerging musical expressiveness. When you see your child doing something new, imitate and enlarge upon those ideas to reinforce your child’s creativity.

MODEL: Provide a shining example by modeling an enthusiastic engagement with music.  Adapt the songs to suit your everyday routines and create musical conversations with your child.

TOUCH: Physical touch provides powerful stimulation to neural pathways. Bounce, lift, tickle and dance during music time.
