Level 3


3 years to 4 years


WELCOME TO LEVEL 3!

Did you know that preschoolers have a natural love of music? Level 3 classes use music to boost language skills, confidence, social-emotional skills, self-control, and more. Parents and caregivers join a portion of each class to participate in the music-making.

 

What should a music class for preschoolers include?

It is not just playing instruments. Kindermusik Level 3 classes will also focus on sound exploration, ensemble development, creative play, and more. Preschoolers will enjoy the fun of music-making while boosting all areas of learning.

 

What to expect...

*Ensemble Development - All together now! Level 3 students will play simple patterns as a group, building the tools they will need to create music in an ensemble.
*Pre-reading Music - Take it one symbol at a time. Preschoolers will begin to learn to interpret graphic notation symbols in comparison to sounds, which is a precursor to reading music.
*Creative Expression - What do you think? Through creative play, 3-5-year-old students learn to safely express their feelings and ideas through movement and music.
*Instrument Play - “Da-dum-da-dum!” Your child will play a variety of instruments, emphasizing on steady beat, repeated rhythm patterns, and graphic notation.

 

What you’ll learn...

*Language Understanding - Level 3 students gain a wider vocabulary and knowledge of story structures and learn how to decode and interpret symbols.
*Cognitive - Preschoolers show a growing ability to memorize and recall information, and present increased attention and focus.
*Listening and Sound Recognition - Children are able to detect patterns, nuances, and timbre in different sounds they hear.
*Socialization - Level 3 students will learn to wait patiently, take turns, work cooperatively in a group, and communicate effectively and respectfully.

Winter/Spring Themes

Outside My Window -  What’s the weather like today? Look outside the window and see! Is it raining with plenty of drip-drop, splashy sounds to imitate? Or is it a cold, snowy morning just right to make some pretend snowballs? In this weather-themed nit, we’ll move to the music, explore rhythms and patterns, categorize sounds, and highlight the musical concepts of crescendo and decrescendo. Prepare to create a rainstorm symphony of sounds and move like leaves in the wind – the sun, rain, wind, and snow are all waiting right Outside My Window!

Let's Play It’s time to play! And as we’ll play, we’ll take in new information, see how it fits in with what we already know, and combine the new and old to “construct” an understand of our world. We’ll take time to reflect, compare, make choices, express opinions, and solve problems, as we pretend to walk to the park, ride a train, play on the playground, and so much more. Enjoy mixing favorite toys and games with music as we invite one and all: Let’s Play!

Animals a-Dancin' -  What’s your favorite dance? What’s your favorite animal? What’s your favorite instrument or song? The activities in this unit will help us answer these questions, discover our preferences, and become more self-aware in the process. Along this journey of self-awareness, we’ll also develop our motor, language, and vocal skills using songs, music, movements, and instrument play-alongs. Prepare to ribbit like a frog, roll like a pig, and swing like a monkey as we join the Animals A-Dancing!

Summer Themes

June Session Weeks
June 9, 16, 23, 30

Ahoy there, Mates! It’s time to leave the rocky shores behind and dive into a sea of pretend-play experiences. In this unit, Splash, adventures are all about water! We’ll blow bubbles in the bathtub, float down the river, and sail through smooth and choppy waters as we learn about patterns, number concepts, steady beat, and rhythm. We’ll expand our spatial awareness as we waddle to the water like penguins, swim to the surface like fish, and row, row, row our boats. A story about a pool party and water-themed songs and dances will spur our imaginations and bring the learning to life.

 

July Session Weeks
July 7, 14, 23, 30

We’re all natural music makers! We hum while we play and work, sing along with music in the car, and tap our fingers and feet to the beat. In this carnival-themed unit, we’ll become more comfortable with instruments and our ability to play them, and explore timbre, steady beat, and ensemble experiences. We’ll move, play, and sing, and through sound, stories, songs, and games, we’ll learn all about what carnivals have to offer: carousels, clowsn, pretzels for sale, and so much more. So step right up – we’re off to the Carnival of Music!
