Music and Movement Classes
 

I am an experienced music teacher available to Childcare Centers and Schools as a daily, weekly or monthly consultant. Resume, references and course description are available upon request. Classes are based on the Kodaly, Dalcroze and Orff methodologies. My general music course follows the Kindergarten SOL for Music in the State of Virginia.

GENERAL MUSIC FOCUS: This program gets preschoolers moving to a wide variety of folk songs and classical pieces in a fun and exhilarating group setting. They'll do an African dance one day and a Mexican dance the next. They play percussion instruments, and practice reading, stepping and skipping to rhythms. They learn to sing songs in tune and explore the space around them.  

AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL DANCE FOCUS: Ages four to seven learn elementary folk, contra-line and partner dance steps with songs like "Buffalo Gals", "Paw Paw Patch" and "Goin' to Boston."  They learn International dance steps with songs from Bolivia, Greece, Ghana, Ukraine, China, and more!  Last class ends with a performance for invited friends and family members.  Yee-hah!

FREE Demo Class!

Where can your child take the class? In addition to teaching at private schools and day care centers, I will be offering classes at the Dorothy Hart Community Center in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Call to register for the Summer Session 540-372-1086. You're welcome to come observe!
