Toddlers learn through sound exploration and movement in this curriculum. They sing, chant, move, dance, listen and play simple instruments – a full mix that allows them to be active, which is how a toddler learns.

Class activities will stimulate the musical interaction between the adult caregiver and the toddler on many different levels. Direction will be given to channel the toddler's energy productively, facilitate expression of feelings, assist in improving memory through repetition, and develop further musical aptitude and focused listening.

Pre-piano: Cycle of Seasons (turning 3 - 5 years old)

 
The Cycle of Seasons, a pre-piano class, is a musical celebration of the four seasons using activities that build on the child's growing independence and competencies. It nurtures the children's ability to use language and capitalizes on their delight in dramatic play within the musical context.

Lessons are filled with songs, movement activities, exploration of instruments, and imaginative stories for children to make their own. Children are encouraged to use their moving, singing, verbal, and listening skills. We'll tap into the child's vivid imagination and lay the foundation for creative development via story-telling and poetry.

Intro to piano class (4 - 6 years)

Required:  Piano or keyboard in the home for daily practice.
                   Pianos require tuning within 6 months of the course.
                   Keyboards should have at least 66 regular sized piano keys.

The introduction to Piano class includes singing, creative as well as structured movement, playing instruments and ensemble work, ear training and guided listening. This developmentally sound approach to music literacy builds symbolic thinking, concentration, memory, self expression, and the children start to work with written musical patterns as well.

Private Piano lessons (Age 4 - 100 years)

Lynn Keyes, a lifelong musician, has been giving piano lessons for over 50 years. She began her advanced studies at the University of Utah where she studied voice and California State University, Long Beach where she studied piano. In addition to giving music lessons, Lynn has held board positions for community as well as professional non-profit music organizations. She has served as accompanist, director, pit orchestra and choral conductor for community, school, and church events.

Music lessons are more than just learning to play a few pieces. Students will develop a song repertoire, keyboard technique and aural skills, learn to compose and improvise, and become fluent music readers. In developing comprehensive musicianship at the keyboard, students are building self-discipline and cooperation, learning patience, perseverance, fostering discipline, confidence, memory, creativity, and coordination.

Private piano lessons are given in my home in Brookfield one time a week.
