Every Wednesday: New 45-minute classes have started at Fort Leavenworth, KS, in the aerobics room at Gruber Gym.
11:30-12:15 - Baby Beats (up to 18 months) is a wonderful time to play stimulating games with your little one, using music to encourage responses and begin using sign language. You will learn how important music is to your baby’s development and how you can continue music activities at home.
2:15-3:00 - Toddler Tunes (18-36 months) is a time to enjoy that wonderful little person who is soaking up everything, as fast as it is presented. Explore the new world of sounds, rhythms, instruments, movement and singing while helping your child attain the skills needed for future learning. Expand your knowledge of signing with your child to encourage speech development.
1:15- 2:00 - Music Makers (3-5 years) provides the opportunity to explore the creation of original music by introducing the use of rhythm, new instruments and working together to become a “band”. During all the fun, skills needed for success in academic and social settings will be improved.
3:30-4:15 - Happy Harmonics (5-8 years) will be the introduction of singing as a group, developing skills of listening, working together, following instructions and paying attention. Of course, the great part is that everyone is having so much fun they don’t realize that they are learning and practicing skills that will improve their ability to learn.
