Music Wonderland,
just recently launched in Canada and now in the US, is
designed for 3 and 4 year-olds. This course is a
wonderful introduction to the world of music through
singing, listening, and playing the keyboard, even at
their young age.
Students are exposed
to a wide variety of music. An appreciation for all
forms of music is strengthened by the various
activities that take place between the children and
their parents. Music Wonderland is not only a great
way to stimulate your child's development, but also to
strengthen the bond between parent and child.
Keyboards are used in
the course as tools for expression of concepts such as
high/low and loud/soft sounds, as well as teaching
students various rhythmic patterns. They learn to play
a part in music-making with parent, friends, and
teacher. The use of different fingers is also
introduced in a way that is natural for 3 and 4
year-old children.
By the end of Music
Wonderland, your child will have learned how to listen
and react to song and sound, and enjoy making music
with others. You will see the start of little
musicians who can appreciate and express themselves
through an international language -- music.
Course areas include:
- Lyric (Song) and
Solfege Singing
- Keyboard Playing
- Concentration
Games with Parents
- Music Appreciation
- Rhythm Instruments
- Picture-Card Show
(AKA "Musical TV")
Course materials
include two full-colour textbooks, a
fully-orchestrated CD, and sticker pack. In class,
students play along with the teacher’s live
performance, as well as pre-recorded accompaniments on
diskettes and CDs.
A keyboard instrument
at home is not a requirement for Music Wonderland.
However, upon entering
JMC: Primary the following year, students will
need access to an instrument for home practice. |
