VIOLIN
TINY FIDDLERS (ages 2-5)
Dates: Thursdays, September 12th - October 24th
Tiny Fiddlers move, dance, sing, and "fiddle" on foam violin replicas ($18 one-time addtl) to lively folk songs and dance tunes. Children get a great head start on learning by ear, practicing violin position and care, singing jovial songs, playing with rhythm sticks, dancing with scarves, and further developing their motor skills through eye/hand coordination games and exercises. Caregivers* are encouraged to participate, helping to support their child's learning while modeling inclusion, engagement, boosting confidence, and having fun together! This is a joyous class, full of musical explorations that enrich a child's development and musical beginnings. Tiny Fiddlers is an on-going class that many families take repeatedly! *A parent/caregiver's involvement is encouraged, but not required. Siblings are welcomed in the room, too!
