ABC Music & Me is an award winning music program that helps 2 to 6 year olds to develop pre-literacy and language skills through a child’s most beloved rituals: music and story time. We’ll sing songs and rhymes to develop phenomic awareness and expressive speech, play instruments to strengthen fine motor skills and improve hand-eye coordination, learn musical concepts and have lots of fun!

Fall 2010: for 2 to 4 year olds with parent or caregiver

In this class, you and your child will uncover an engaging musical world together in a warm and welcoming community. You’ll enjoy singing, moving, listening, interacting socially and playing instruments. This class is especially ideal for parents who want to attend class with an Imagine That aged child, or who would like siblings to attend class together. We’ll be visiting different themes over the course of the year.

Carnival of Music - Featuring a story about Barley Bear and his day-long quest to find a piece of shoo-fly pie at the fair. We’ll focus on activities to help your child feel comfortable in group-play and group-learning situations.
Animals A Dancing - Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. We’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way.
Around the Farm - In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go games tucked into stories and pretend play about animals on a farm.

Fall 2010: for 4 to 6 year olds with parent or caregiver

This class takes you and your child on a musical journey of discovery and exploration. We’ll play instruments, enhance vocal development, and learn keyboard skills and musical concepts through activities that promote problem solving, self-confidence and individual expression. This class is especially ideal for those Imagine That aged children who are wanting more formal instruction, but not yet ready for Kindermusik for the Young Child. We’ll be visiting different themes over the course of the year.

Jumping Beans - In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go activities, all set to the music of Latin America.
Join the Parade - We’ll listen to marching music, play pretend parades, and help your preschooler develop rhythm and coordination skills.
All Keyed Up - The composer J.S. Bach is introduced, and the keyboard playing activities in class will help develop the same fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination your child needs to hold a pencil.

At Home Materials:
  • The ABC Music & Me  Home Kit contains a variety of age-appropriate literature, activities, and games - all tied to the class content.

  • CD’s distributed throughout the semester, containing all the songs, rhymes, stories and sounds heard in class.
  • Magazine-style Family Guides which include the stories from class, activity pages, parent notes showing what your child learned in class, and can-do tips to continue the fun and learning at home.
  • Age-appropriate instruments that relate directly to content and concepts addressed in class.

More Details:

September & March -- Carnival of Music (2 to 4 years) This month’s story features Barley Bear and his day-long quest to find a piece of shoo-fly pie at the fair. In class we’ll read about Barley and talk about his willingness to wait and be patient in the middle of the fun fair distractions. At home, your Home Kit includes more activities to help your child feel comfortable in group-play and group-learning situations.

Home Kit: Egg shaker, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Shoo-fly Pie)

October -- Animals A-Dancing (2 to 4 years) Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. This month we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way. Your Home Kit features songs for wiggling and helps toddlers develop dexterity and fine-motor skills. Your magazine-style Family Guide also includes at-home activity ideas, games, and questions that involve the class story, so your child develops memory and comprehension - all in the context of sharing time with you.

November -- Around the Farm (2 to 4 years) In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go games tucked into stories and pretend play about animals on a farm. You’ll find these stories and songs in your Home Kit, too. So when you play this month’s featured rhythm stick instruments along with the recordings, you help your child develop rhythm, coordination, and the confidence that comes with learning and playing along with you.

Home Kit: Pair of Rhythm Sticks, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Cows in the Kitchen)

September -- Jumping Beans (4 to 6 years) In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go activities - all set to the music of Latin America. Tucked into stories and pretend play activities, stop-and-go games help your preschooler control body motions and follow directions on the go. Share the stories and activities in your Home Kit and you’ll strengthen self-discipline skills at home, too.

Home Kit: One pan flute instrument, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story A Quieter Instrument)

October -- Join the Parade (4 to 6 years) You can watch this month’s theme in your own home town with the season’s upcoming holiday parades. In class, we’ll listen to marching music, play pretend parades, and help your preschooler develop rhythm and coordination skills. Marching to the beat of his own drum - in class and at home - helps your preschooler make a vital rhythm and body connection, one that’s necessary to help him master any number of movement activities such as writing, dribbling and shooting a basketball, dancing, and skipping.

November -- All Keyed Up (4 to 6 years) A piano and the well-known composer, J.S. Bach, help your preschooler get ready for school this month. The answer is right at the tip of your fingers. The same fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination your preschooler needs to hold a pencil are developed through the special keyboard-playing activities we’ll be exploring in class.
