About Our Classes
Kids Rock Music Class (KRMC) uses The Music Class® (TMC) early childhood music education program designed to unleash the musical potential of young children. Featuring TMC's award winning music, engaging activities, CDs, and curricula, we are proud of the high standards we set in the field of early childhood music education.
While we take our goal of educating children very seriously, we know that the key to success lies in one word—fun! Everyone has a great time in class, and children love listening to the CDs over and over again at home. Because we know that it is essential for grownups to enjoy the songs as well, we make sure our music isn’t simplistic or babyish. Parents frequently tell us how much they enjoy the music.
Research shows that early childhood is the window of opportunity to increase the lifelong music aptitude of a child. KRMC provides several programs that capitalize on this critical time period:
Music Pups® (birth - 5)
Designed to nurture the musical development of young children by motivating parents and caregivers to engage in musical activities with their child. Through teacher modeling, play, parent education, the acclaimed CDs, and the joy of our classes, Music Pups® provides a catalyst for parents to create a stimulating musical environment for their child.
Music Cats® (4 & 5)
Music Cats includes the same FUN spirit as Music Pups, with more challenging activities designed to capitalize on the creativity and abilities of “big kids”.
Goals and Highlights of Music Cats:
- Develop critical listening skills. While critical listening skills are essential for musical success, the fun activities we do in Music Cats will also prepare your child to be a better listener in the classroom.
- Fun props and activities are a hallmark of The Music Class. In Music Cats, your child will enjoy using large drums and our unique Giant Keyboard.
- Fun keyboarding activities to help prepare our students for future keyboard or piano lessons.
- We introduce band and orchestra instruments, and practice identifying the sounds they produce.
- Individualized tonal and rhythm instruction is included each week to challenge each student at his or her own level.
- You'll receive a copy of our current Music Class collection CD and songbook plus an additional practice CD
We strongly encourage students interested in taking our Keyboard class, to take Music Cats first.
About siblings: Your younger child would have more fun, more freedom, and more educational opportunities in our Music Pups class. We do understand that it is not always possible to have your children go to two separate classes, so we cautiously welcome siblings in this class. If your younger child can be quite when need be, can follow directions, and can exhibit self control when surrounded with large, really neat drums, then he or she is welcome.
Doodle Bugs: (3-5)
To promote creativity, learning, and fun. This is a group class to help stimulate the child's mind through art. They will have fun while learning their colors and working independently in a group setting.
Sound Habits Keyboard Classes (5 – 7)
An introductory keyboard class in which aural skills are taught along with technical skills and students learn to play by ear before music notation is introduced. Children and their parents learn together in a fun group class of up to eight families.
Birthday parties
Kids Rock Music Class can host a child's birthday party providing great activities for your child and an easy experience for parents. An enthusiastic Kids Rock Music Class staff member leads the activities as the birthday child and his or her friends and parents play, laugh, and sing together, creating a memorable celebration. Parties can be held at the Kids Rock Music Class Studio or at an offsite location, such as a child's home.
