Young Child 4 Unit Themes

Semester 1 Semester 1 broadens the child's musical experience through the introduction of the glockenspiel. Learning how to keep a steady beat plus reading and writing musical notations will help a child lay the initial groundwork for musical success!

Semester 2 Semester 2 further develops the child's instrument playing skills while developing the greatest instrument of all - the voice! Pressure free, developmentally appropriate concepts help effectively prepare the children for a formal music instruction after age seven.

Semester 3 Semester 3 builds on the child's natural interest in musical instruments with an introduction to the two-stringed dulcimer! Learning about Appalachian music and the dulcimer's heritage sets the stage for a sampling of Native American Music.

Semester 4 Semester 4 explores multicultural music - from Japan to Hawaii to Africa, just to name a few! Children will learn the basic notation concepts on their first wind instrument - the recorder - while gaining confidence and appreciation for their own musical gifts.
