Mini Jam - Kindermusik classes for children aged 18 months up to 3 ½ year of age or Multi-age (babies – 5 years)Mini Jam (Kindermusik’s Our Time program) encourages toddlers to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control, and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming, and object identification foster language skills, while creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing, and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills. For the toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world. Despite a display of independence, the 18 month – 3 ½ year old child still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, toddlers still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new. Kindermusik Our Time encourages children to be creative, to initiate their own ideas and to respond in their own ways, while the parents’ active participation gives the toddlers the security they need. Playing instruments, singing, moving, and exploring uncover an engaging musical world while building the toddlers’ confidence, self-control, and communications skills. Multi-age classesAt Jim Jam Music we understand that you may be looking for a class to bring more than one child to – you might have twins or a baby and toddler – so we have our Multi-age Mini Jam classes. These classes have the same content as our regular Mini Jam classes, however we have age appropriate instruments available for babies and will tailor the class to suit the various ages in the group. |
