Sibling Enrichment Choices
Practical Piano Skills:
This class for the advancing pianist will focus on skills that are often underdeveloped in young players. With Faculty member Peter Friesen, students will learn tricks to enhance their sight reading, learn to understand and play lead sheets and accompaniments from chord symbols, how to transpose, and how to apply basic music theory concepts.
Open to piano students late Book 2 or above. Student should understand how to build major and minor chords, and identify major key signatures up to two sharps and flats.
Dalcroze Music and Movement:
Join Emma Shubin for a joyful and engaging journey into music through movement in this dynamic, whole-body class! Rooted in the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach, students develop their musicianship by exploring core musical concepts—rhythm, phrasing, pitch, dynamics, and form—through creative movement, interactive games, improvisation, and playful expression.
These classes nurture musical understanding from the inside out, helping children embody music and develop a deep, physical connection to sound. Through imaginative activities and active play, students build coordination, listening skills, spatial awareness, and expressive confidence—skills they can bring to their instruments, ensembles, and the performances stage. No prior musical experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to move, explore, and have fun!
Open to children ages 4 and up, with students grouped by age and level to support social-emotional development and age-appropriate learning.
Music Together:
Music Together nurtures each child’s natural musicality in a playful, musically rich learning environment. Our research-based music classes are designed to be non-formal and non-performance oriented, so your child can learn at his or her own pace, in a way that’s developmentally appropriate. We know that children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interaction with adults and older children. The family-like setting of Music Together classes creates an ideal learning environment. And it’s all based on research in early childhood and music development.
Open to students ages 4 years old and UNDER. Each student in the class must have a parent or caregiver attend class and participate
