BABY BOOGIE

3 months to walkers

Come and learn delightful musical ways to play with your baby, make friends, and nurture your baby’s sensory development and natural musicianship. Babies love the gentle bouncing, instrument and prop play, peek-a-boo games and tickling rhymes included in our highly specialized 45-minute class. Live music accompanies our games and activities, keeping your baby’s attention while encouraging social interaction, language development and body awareness. Smiles, gurgles and coos are heard even from our youngest babies as they begin to recognize and anticipate meter, pitch and tempo changes in our songs, rhymes and chants. This class is for children up to 13 months of age who are not yet walking.

Why enroll in a baby music class? Our baby music classes encourage a strong parent/child bond that helps to build a strong foundation of security, support and trust with your baby. Babies recognize sounds and melodies before they recognize the meaning of words. Music facilitates language and social development. Music enhances motor control, sense of balance and coordination. Music generates neural connections in the brain that enhance higher learning. Repetition of songs, rhymes, finger plays, etc. aids in the development of memory and thinking skills. It is a wonderful quality time to spend with your baby and meet new friends! Parents and their caregivers who participate in the joy of making music in a group situation, can make a significant impact on that child’s musical and social development.
