Class size is limited to ensure lots of personalized attention. The other Young Musician programs, Music for Toddlers, ages 18 months to 3 1/2 years, and Cycle of Seasons, ages 3 1/2 to 5 years, are developmental- ly appropriate aids in learning about the world through musical play. The benefits include muscle and language stimula- tion, socialization, rhythm andan introduction to music theory plus vocal and instrtmental produc- tion. MusikMachine, for children ages 6 to 9, includes a fun hour of songs, movement nd rhythms, which will help kids develop the fundamentals of voice production, breath control, sight reading and pitch matching. The class will be a great boost for children who want to join the school chorus or band.
