Instrument Primer
Ages 4 to 6
Instrument Primer serves as the perfect place to begin your child’s instrumental journey. Designed for 4, 5, and 6 year-olds who are almost ready to start lessons, this class will introduce students to the world of instruments and get families acquainted with the details of private music instruction. The class will address the fundamental skills essential to private lessons. In addition to exploring the basic elements of musicianship, such as beat, rhythm, and melody, students will work on developing focus, following instructions, and listening. They will learn to take beautiful bows, stand/sit in rest position, and perform all Suzuki Twinkle rhythms on a variety of percussion instruments. Simple homework assignments will be given to help establish the habit of daily practicing. Throughout the session students will work on social and emotional skills, including collaboration, self-confidence, problem solving, discipline, setting goals and planning how to achieve them. The class will also introduce all instruments we teach at ChiME through teacher presentations and student performances. Classes are 45 minutes long and run for 9 weeks.
