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...

Fall Themes
On the Go! (September): Children always seem to be on the go, which
makes this unit just their speed! You'll use locomotor skills and active
imaginations to drive in cars, chug along in trains, and bounce on pogo sticks.
You'll bumpity-bump, zippity-zoom, and stop-and-go-and-stop-and-go, because
it's non-stop learning when you're On the Go!
Around the Farm (October): Put on your overalls and boots
because it’s time to visit the farm! We’ll waddle like ducks, moo like cows, go
on a hayride, and listen to the wind blowing in the corn. As we play, sing, and
dance, we’ll strengthen our fine- and gross-motor skills, develop inhibitory
control, explore timbre, and so much more. Get ready to discover all there is
to see, hear, and do Around the Farm!
Home Sweet Home (November): Get ready to spruce up the house
in this home-themed unit. We’ll turn tasks such as cooking, cleaning, sawing,
painting, and hammering into fun, pretend-play activities that make us move
more creatively and use our imaginations. At the same time, we’ll explore the
relationship between sounds and symbols, and build community as we sing and
play together. Whether it’s a great big house (or a den, nest, or burrow!),
there’s no place like Home Sweet Home!
