DMS offers Young Musician classes
Expanding on its belief that music education also
promotes physical, emotional and academic devel-
opment, the Delaware Music School (DMS) now of-
fers Young Musician classes for children from birth
to 13 years old.
"l*hese classes are 14-week programs that are of-
fered in Dover, Milford, Lewes and Seaford begin-
ning in September.
Lap babies, crawlers and walkers share moments
of discovery with weekly tunes, rhymes, whispers,
tickles and peek-a-boos.
Music for Babies, for children from birth to 18
months, encourages practice between classes with a
take-home CD, baby's instrument pack - rhythm
sticks, a scarf and wooden rattle all included in a
cloth pouch - and a family music book.
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.
MusikFactory, for children ages 10 to 13, is a con-
tinuation of MusikMachine, offered at an advanced
level for older children.
The class provides an excellent foundation for the
child who expects to take these skills to private voice
or instrument lessons.
