This class (45 minutes per week) is designed to bring the joy of music and movement to babies & preschoolers (Birth to age 3) and their caregivers. (Classes in this series include Twist & Turn, On a Trip, Animal Friends, Nimble & Quick, My Day, and New Friends on a rotation.) Songs this session focus on Nursery Rhymes.12
Activities include singing, dancing, focused listening and simple instrument playing, creating an environment in which the child's music aptitude is nurtured and skills are developed.

This class (45 minutes per week) is designed to nurture the independence and imagination of the 3 and 4 year old. Classes include Wind Dancers, Sun Catchers, My Neighborhood, My Home Place and Seashore on a rotation.
Activities include singing, chants and rhymes, listening games, patterns to echo, and movement games, all of which nurture the child's musical development while satisfying the child's need to learn in a holistic environment. Children will play various instruments including increasing use of resonator bars and will begin to learn the musical languages of solfege (do, re, mi) and Gordon rhythm language.
Parents stay for the class, although some of the activities are designed to have the children participate independently of their parents. Occasionally, children participate without a parent -- contact the teacher before registering if you need this option.
Materials: 2 digital downloads, nature cards

This class (45 minutes per week) cultivates the child's musical development through songs, tonal and rhythm patterns, poetry and stories, movement activities, listening games, instrumental play and manipulative games. Music skills such as pitch matching, beat competency, ensemble development, and music notation are dealt with using themes taken from the child's home environment and natural surroundings. Children will begin to spend more time playing Orff instruments such as resonator bars, xylophones and glockenspiels. Keyboard will be introduced.
Parents are encouraged to join the last 10 minutes of class on some days -- you will be informed which days in advance. (Of course, parents are welcome to attend the entire class.)
Material packets include digital download, poster/folder and stickers, notation games, instrument pages and a booklet.
For Fall, we explore the Woodlands which includes Brass and Percussion instruments, duple meter, and dynamics (loud/soft).
For Spring, we explore Marsh & Meadow which includes Woodwind and String instruments, contrasting major & minor tonalities, quartets & duets, triple meter, duple meter with rests & major melody cards, keyboard geography.

This Pre-Piano 2 class is designed for 5 through 7 year olds (children in Pre-K with music experience, Kindergarteners and 1st graders not yet ready for piano lessons.) In this 45 minute per week class, children explore the music, dances, composers and stories of the British Isles (Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England). As always, the key ingredients are singing, listening, playing instruments, movement, and tonal and rhythm patterns. Through echoing patterns, the children will build a vocabulary of musical phrases which they can recognize aurally and visually, leading to an understanding of musical notation. Keyboard will be introduced. (Classes in this series include African-American Heritage, British Isles, Native American and Germany on a Rotation.)
Parents are encouraged to join for the last 10 minutes of class on certain days - you will be informed in advance. Parents are welcome to attend the entire class if they wish.

The final step on the pathway to music literacy, this program is designed to teach children to play the songs they've been hearing, singing, and dancing to throughout the years of early-childhood. An extension of the work done in Music Makers: Around the World and Intro to Piano, this class follows a very sequential approach to building piano skills and understanding musical notation as set forth in the books, Music Makers: At the Keyboard. Emphasis begins with playing by ear and will gradually introduce note reading. We will continue to sing, dance and play other instruments (drums, Orff instruments such as xylophones, glockenspiels.)
Group piano lessons are FUN, engaging and encourage playing in front of others. Children want to continue! Five years of group piano lessons are available. Child must have a piano or keyboard with at least 61 keys to participate. Recommended for 1st - 3rd grades. KINDERGARTENERS ONLY ACCEPTED IF CONFIRMED AFTER SUMMER PIANO CAMP.
A Parent Orientation meeting with teacher is required before acceptance into Beginning Piano Class. This will be scheduled at your convenience as soon as possible.
THIS IS A SCHOOL-YEARLONG CLASS.
Wednesdays 5:15 - 6:15 pm Begins 9/2, last Fall class 12/9; Spring 1/4-4/19 (will meet 1/4)
Thursdays 5:15 - 6:15 pm Begins 9/3, last Fall class 12/10 NOT MEETING - NOT ENOUGH ENROLLMENT
Thursdays 6:15 - 7:15 pm Begins 9/3, last Fall class 12/10; Spring 1/7 - 4/1 NEED 3 MORE STUDENTS FOR THIS TO GO
Make-ups, if needed, will be added to the end of the semester. No class during Warsaw Schools' Fall Break (10/12-16), Thanksgiving Break (11/24-27) or Spring Break (4/5-9). No class Labor Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or Presidents' Day unless Warsaw Schools are in session.
CLASS IS BILLED FOR THE YEAR; however, you may pay as you like as long as the semester's bill is paid in FULL by the next to last class. I accept cash, checks, credit cards in the studio, VENMO and PayPal. MusicLink Scholarships are also available -- see section of my website for further information. IF YOU DIVIDE OUT THE SCHOOL-YEAR TOTAL, IT COMES OUT TO APPROXIMATELY $25 PER WEEK FOR 1 HOUR CLASS TIME. Feel free to compare that to other teachers in town (most of those will be 1/2 hour class times.)
WHY DO I REQUIRE A SCHOOL-YEAR COMMITMENT?
1) Because I teach in Groups, I cannot add students to Groups if someone drops out; whereas Private Teachers can add a new student whenever they want. So, to remain in business, I need the longer commitment.
2) Groups become friends and partners in learning and children dropping out mid-year hinders the learning process.
3) Groups need to stay the correct size -- too large isn't good; but too small is probably even worse! A Group Class of 2 or 3 really doesn't function like a Group any more.
4) We play ensembles which require all the students participating together -- like a "band" or a "sports team", each individual has an important part to play.
5) It is good for children to learn to make and stick to commitments. Piano is a commitment in my Studio.
