• practice fundamental skills for private lessons, including developing focus, following instructions, and listening.
• explore all basic elements of musicianship, including beat, rhythm, and melody.

where do classes take place?

​​The class will take place in person at ChiME’s West Town facility. We will use a room large enough for safe social distancing and we will follow other health and safety protocols. 

what will students learn? 

Students will learn to recognize and name instruments and will discuss correct ways to play them. They will practice keeping a steady beat and echo-playing rhythms. They will explore melodic contour, experience high and low sounds, and discover expressive qualities, including dynamics and tempo. They will learn to take beautiful bows, stand/sit in rest position, and echo clap/play all Suzuki Twinkle rhythms on percussion instruments (optional instrument bucket packs are available for purchase) in preparation for private instrument lessons. ​

CAn I enroll at any time? 

​​Because we introduce different instruments each week of the session, it is best to enroll before the beginning of the session and attend every class. This way your child won’t miss any instrument presentations. 

what do children do? 

​​Each class will consist of musical warms ups (beat, rhythm, melody), movement activities, instrument demos and exploration, listening, lots of imitation, and games. 

What materials are needed for participation?

Purchase of the ChiME Time Bucket is optional.
