VIOLIN/VIOLA
TINY FIDDLERS (ages 2-4)
Teacher: Anna
Session 1 - Thursdays, September 8 - October 6
Time: 5:30-6:00pm
Cost: $90
*Arriving late to the show? This class works as a drop-in! Join anytime and borrow a fiddle for $20/class!
Session 2 - Thursdays, October 13 - November 17 (5 classes - no class on 11/3)
Time: 5:30-6:00pm
Cost: $90
It's fiddle time! We are starting our tiniest friends on little foam fiddles ($20 addtl) that they get to keep and "practice" on whenever they want. In this joyous class, Tiny Fiddlers dance, sing songs, play rhythm games, and learn the first basics of playing and caring for the violin. Rumor has it that some also choose to sleep with their violins, too! Children get a great start on learning music by ear, using their voices to make music, practicing violin position, exploring hand percussion instruments, playing with rhythm sticks, and further developing motor skills through hand/eye coordination games. This is a class full of musical explorations that enrich a child's development and sense of belonging. Tiny Fiddlers is an on-going class that many families take repeatedly!
