Music Friends is a new program which offers an extended music experience for young children beyond the 45 min Ready, Set, Play music class. Children and adults who participate in Music Friends become just that–music friends!!
Music Friends classes combines our regular Ready, Set, Play multi-instrument class with a time for open exploration of the classroom, allowing children and caregivers to revisit areas of interest and have additional instrument turns helped by a teacher. The shy or slow to warm up child benefits from this unique aspect of the class, as does the eager child who is very excited to play the instruments. In each class we also include a Story Time, where we read a story and add musical elements using the many instruments available in the class. The class concludes with an extended period of listening to live music played by the teacher while children and adults color and assimilate all that they have heard that day.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our Music Friends classes this fall! Parents, caregivers, grandparents, nannies welcome! There is space for one adult per child, with enrolled siblings welcome. Class size is typically limited to 6 children. All classes will be held at 218 W 72nd St.
