Welcome to the Music Class!
I'd like to share with you some basic concepts
about your child's musical development.

The time to start thinking about your child's musical education is at birth. In
fact, the most critical time in a child's musical developrnent is from birth to age
frve. Scientific research has shown that parts of the brain that are not
stimulated in the earliest years of life will atrophy' Nobel ptize winning
research by doctors David Hubel and Tortsen Wiesel of the Harvard Medical
School proved this point. They found that if an animal was raised from birth to
three months of age with one eyelid sutured closed, the animal would be
permanently blind in that eye. The portion of the brain that controls vision in
that eye did not develop. From what we know about the brain, this "use it or
lose it" concept applies to music as weli. Those children who have a defrcient
musical environment where their potential musical abilities are not stimulated
will end up with a significantly lower music aptitude than might have been
possible.

Researchers from the University of Munster in Germany recently found that


the part of the brain associated with pitch recognition was larger and
organized differently among musicians compared to non-musicians. Most
significantly, the musicians who started training earliest had the largest
development in that area.

Another scientific study recently found a strong correlation between early


musical study and the development of absolute pitch (also called perfect pitch -
the ability to identify exact pitches without reference to an instrument). Six
hundred musicians were surveyed. Forty percent of the musicians in this
study who had begun training at four years of age reported absolute pitch,
whereas only three percent of those who had started training at nine years of
age did so.

The Music Class songs are designed to expose your child not only to a large
quantity of music, but also to a broad variety of music. You've heard that chil-
dren who grow up in households where a large spoken vocabulary is used learn
to speak with a large vocabulary. The same is true of music. Our songs include
a wide variety of scales, rhythms, instruments and styles, to further stimulate
your child's music development. On the upper left hand corner of each song
you'|l see a column titled "{ Mugicol Vocobulory". Here we list the musical
sounds, common and uncommon;that we hope your child will absorb from the
song. With enough time and repetition you'll see your child's musical vocabu-
Iary blossom.

If you see musical terms that you are not familiar with, you can find help on
the links page of our web site at "www.TheMusicClass.com" Here you'llfind
links to web sites to help you with basic music theory and musical terminology.
By enrolling your child in The Music Class, you are providing a rich musical
for your child forty five minutes a week. Of course, that limited
"n,oiron-".rt
time is not enough. Young children learn throughout the rveek, mostly by
imitating you. Our goal is that you will take the songs and actir,'ities you have
learned in class home with you and model them for your child throughout the
week.

Keep in mind. that the most important things you can model for 1'our child are
the enjoyment of and enthusiasm for music. Children rvho see their parents
having fun with music will naturally copy their behavior: that's hou'the
learning takes place. Children learn through play'

I'd like to answer two frequently asked questions'

Q. What's the point of coming to class if my child is too sh1- to sing in class?

A. I'd. like to encourage you to consider these wonderful first )'ears of life as a
time for musical development and musical fun. Please do not get confused
between learning music and musical performance. A child's tenperament may
dictate whether he or she will want to sing out loud in class. A parent's
pressure on a child to perform in class might only make the child
uncomfortable, and may take away from the relaxed environment in rvhich
young children learn best. Children learn through exposure in a fun
environment and need the freedom to experiment on their otr-n. Instead of
assessing your child's learning by how he or she "performs'' in class. rest
assured that if your child enjoys coming to class and enjol-s doing the songs
and activities with you at home that he or she is learning in as natural a way
as possible. Remember, if your child sings at home and not in ciass - that's OK!

Q. When should my chitd start taking instrument lessons?

A. Before instrumental instruction can begin, a child must achier-e "basic music
competence." Basic music competence, which can be attained bi'a1l normal
children, is defrned as the ability to sing in tune and in rhythm, and to make
rhythmically accurate movements. With proper musical stimulation, this
usually occurs between the ages of four and six. Regardless of s'hether your
child chooses to play an instrument at some point, the tonal and rhythm skills
they are learning now will give them a lifelong understanding and enjoyment
of music.

What To Expect of Your Child in C1ass

AIl young children need time to get used to a new room) teacher, songs and
situation. It typically takes about four weeks to become familiar with the class
environment. There is a wide range of responses children will display during
the first few weeks. You will see that as the weeks continue the children will

L
\

become more and more focused in class. It's important to listen to the tapelCD
at home frequently, particularly during the frrst weeks. Children like what is
familiar to them and need a lot of repetition. If they know the songs, they will
have more fun in class and learn more.

According to age

Infant: A baby's brain is stilt forming - more so than at any other time in its
life. As babies are learning the sounds of language, they are adding the
rhythms and tones of music. Just as children learn to speak by hearing their
parents speak - learning many of the sounds necessary for communication
before they ever utter their first word - children go through the same process
of listening, decoding and then experimenting on their own with musical skills.
Even if your child is too young to actively participate in class, rest assured that
he or she is learning. Early exposure to music will payoff significantly later in
life. It's never too early to start playing music and singing to your baby!
Toddler: Toddlers learn through play; so class needs to be fun. They are
watching and experimenting on their own, discovering what they like. They
will enjoy playing instruments, singing and dancing. Though their efforts are
not very accurate, they will begin to show improved musical skills as they grow
older.

Two and Three-year olds: These children have become more accurate in
reproducing music, both tonally and rhythmically. They begin to interact less
with their parents and more with their teacher and the other children. They
are still busy observing and imitating. At this age they become more creative
and develop their own ways of singing songs and doing activities. This should
be supported and encouraged!

Four-year-olds: Some at four will have already achieved basic music


competence, but still benefrt from being in a creative and musically stimulating
environment. While some children at this age may feel too old to be in class
with babies, most do not care as long as they are having fun. Parents should
refrain from pointing out age differences to their child, but should talk with
their child to see if they are enjoying class. If so, parents should relax and
enjoy it, too.

All ages: Some children want to march and run;others want to spend the
class no more than a foot away from the teacher; some will sit in their parent's
Iaps; while others want to observe from a cozy corner in the room. At The
Music Class we recognize that there are many different learning styles, and we
encourage parents to let the children be where they are comfortable. A typical
class may have all of these different types of children, but all children have one
thing in common: they are all watching,listening, and learning from us. So
have fun and make music!

v
) There are many different types of children. Here's what parents say about
their experiences with The Music class:

The shy child: "When we first started bringing Avery she would sit in my lap
the whole class and get up only to grab the instruments. But when we got
home, she'd sing the songs, so I knew she was absorbing the music. Now, a few
sessions later, she is totally comfortable in class. She participates in every-
thing in class and really likes to sit in her teacher's lap! What a difference.
I'm glad we stuck with it because I can see how much she has been getting out
of class." - E.P.
The active child: "Pierce would never sit in my lap. In fact, he spent most of
class running around the room. He was so wild; I was worried he was being
disruptive. But our teacher told me not to worry and he rvas right. We've
been taking music class here for several sessions and he's gotten a ton out of
it. He now makes up his own words to the songs and dances when he hears
the music. Even when I didn't think he was payrng attention, when we got out
to the car after class, he started singing the songs." - L.O.

The younger child: "When Brian first came to class, he rvas only three
months old. He was quiet, but his eyes were wide open and he was interested
in what was going on. Now, more than a year later, he does everything in
class, including using the sticks to the rhythm. I defrnitely think that my
child is getting a lot more from music class now because \\re started him when
he was young. Even his daycare teachers teil us that rvhen they play music in
class he is much more involved and responsive than the other children his
age." - M.M.

The older child: "Nathaniel is 5-years-old now and we still love music class.
I do remind him to watch out for the little children, but he has become a
leader in his class. He helps his teacher and is sort of a role model for the
other children. This music has become such a part of our lives. On rainy days
we get out all our music books and sit on the floor and sing the songs.
Nathaniel even listens to the music at bedtime. I wish we couid take the class
forever!" - J.R.
The child with special needs: "Mary Beth has loved The Music Class from
the beginning. Even though she has Down's Syndrome, she's always been
treated like the other children. Music class helped her feel more normal as
she saw she could do what the others were doing" The interaction with chil-
dren is so good for her and the environment is so relaxed." - D.H.

Classroom Guidelines

Do sing, dance, and have a good time in class. Enthusiasm is infectious!

Do call if you are going to miss a class. This will allow others to use your spot
as a make-up time.

Do call if you would like to make up a class. In order to avoid overcrowding


reserwations for make-ups are required.

Do invite grandparents and other grown-ups to come to class. No reservations


required.

Do call about bringing young siblings, relatives, out of town guests, etc. to class.
We can accommodate extra children in class only if room permits. Friends
considering enrolling next term may observe one class free of charge -
reservation required.

Do not come to class if your child appears ill, or has had a fever within the last
24 hours.

Do not get into a turf battle with your child. If your child wants to be in
another part of the room and you insist that he/she stays with you, both you
and your child will soon have your attention focused on territory as well as how
to outsmart each other. This is not a particularly musical activity. Children
Iearn in many different ways and not all children are comfortable staying in
their parent's lap. Remember that even if your child is on the side of the room,
he or she is still absorbing what's going on in class. Of course do make sure
your child stays safe and inside the room.

Do not talk in class. Try not to tell your child what to do in class, but instead
show your child what to do. Keep in mind that when parents do talk it
becomes distracting to the teacher and to other families in the class.

Do not eat in class. No one wants to put their baby on a floor with old crumbs.
Eating in class is a health hazard and is also distracting to the other children.
If your child must snack during class time please do so outside the room.

If your child puts an instrument in his or her mouth please wipe the
instrument off with an alcohol wipe when you are done. (Some studios have
sinks or buckets for instruments that went in the mouth.) If your child uses a
pacifrer you might try letting them have their pacifrer during instrument play
as a way to avoid putting instruments in the mouth,

If your child really


doesn't want to put away an instrument consider letting
him or her hold onto the instrument for a while.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, a little man was walking,
walking in the snow.
"How come you are walking?" said the talker in the sky.
How come you are walking when it's much more fun to fly?
"That is very silly", said the man down on the ground.
People can not fly, and I need to get to town.

Why don't you try hopping, hopping in the air?

The man he tried to hop but it did not get him there.
Just one minute, I have an idea. I will be right back.
The little talker in the sky came riding in a truck.

"Hop on board", the talker said. Why thank you very much!
