CLASSES are held once a week, for 40 minutes, and limited to 10 children, plus one grownup, where applicable. The material is tailored towards the participants and no two terms are ever alike!
The 9-week Spring term runs:
SAT: March 29 – June 14 or 21st (in the event of an unscheduled cancelled class)
NO CLASSES: April 19, May 17 & 31
All classes will be held at St. John’s Norway Church (Free parking on-site)
I know life is full of changes and challenges, especially when it involves children! Missed classes may be made up in any appropriate age-group or you can use the credit for another sibling or friend to try a class within this term, space permitting. Drop-ins welcome!
Please let me know how the schedule could be improved for you! littlevoices@sympatico.ca
“WIGGLERS & WANDERERS” ~ born ‘23 & ’24
We’ll clap, tap, tickle, bounce, dance, rock, swing, find toes & noses, and play peekaboo! Instruments for aural AND oral stimulation, plus colourful scarves, bubbles, puppets and more will delight both you and your little one until lullaby-time brings a soothing close. Sat 12:30 Register
“FAMILY MUSIC” ~ all ages
There’s no age limit, all that’s needed is an interest in having fun making music together! We’ll sing & dance and play drums, tambourines, shakers, bells, rainsticks, finger cymbals, and more! Families & caregivers with just one child are welcome, too. (Discount for multiple enrolments in the same family.) Sat 9:30 Register
“IMAGINATION SAFARI” ~ for children born in ’20 & ’21
What better way for children to experience music than through movement? Every week, a different Drama & Dance adventure! Balloons, streamers, instruments & more will have your child exercising their imagination AND their body to a wide variety of genres of music. (Sorry, grownups, children stay on their own for this one!) Sat 10:25 Register
“RHYTHMATICS” ~ JK/SK & Gr 1
Focus is on playfully discovering rhythms, developing beat and vocal skills, and exploring pitch & dynamics through songs, rhymes, stories, and movement. We’ll play xylophones, and all kinds of drums, shakers, bells, tambourines, and more! Musical literacy will be introduced. Sat 11:20 Register
“KODORFF” ~ Grades 1 – 3 (SK by special permission)
“Kodaly” & “Orff” teaching methods are combined with a dash of “Dalcroze”, so learning is vibrant and active. We’ll play clapping and singing games, then transfer those rhythms onto xylophones, drums, and almost anything that can be struck, shaken, or rubbed to make sound! We’ll also create soundscapes for stories & poems, and begin to learn the basics of reading & writing music. Sat 1:20 Register
“U-CAN UKULELE!” ~ 6 yr +
No experience necessary, just an interest in having fun singing, strumming & picking! Students must provide their own ukulele (GCEA tuning – don’t worry, I can help with that!). Tue 4:20, 5:00, 5:40, Wed 4:00 (for children/teens with little or no previous experience), Wed 4:50 (for students who completed last year’s program or have some experience). Private classes can also be arranged: $35/30 minutes.
~ Ukulele classes will be held at 472 Milverton Blvd – 4 B N of Danforth, 1/2 B E of Coxwell. (Please note: there is no indoor waiting room at that location.)
