Music Beginner Series
Music
Beginner is a series of programs designed for young children ages
from 2 years to 4 years. Based on "learn music in making
music", the core principle underlying all Happy Music group
programs, Music Beginner focuses more on developmentally appropriate
approaches, and is organized with hand-on musical activities for your
children to learn music with fun. Specifically, with Music
Beginner, your children will enjoy singing and learning songs;
playing musical games with music awareness and body movement, i.e., Eurhythmics;
learning and playing hand percussion instruments with different
rhythm patterns; learning to recognize music patterns, and tone color
in basic ear training; and eventually, the learning of the basic music
components such as dynamics, tempo, and note duration.
We always encourage parents to participate in the lessons and stay with
their children playing music at home. While participating in the
teaching sessions, parents can observe their children in action, and
parents can also help to remember the lessons and practice/play/sing
the music with their children at home. Our program books for
Music Beginner series serve the same purpose for parents to play with
their children at home, as well as for children and parent to keep
track of the program.
Music Beginner program is divided into 3 terms in a
progressive order, each with its own focus and incrementally broader
and deeper contents. Each term has 10 weekly sessions, with each
session 45 minutes. The first term, Music Beginner I, is
focused on getting your children, together with fun, familiar with
music - songs, games, expressions, and hand percussion instruments,
without the burden of learning any "musical terms". Music
Beginner II will give your children more songs and musical games,
as well as ear training and body movements, introduction to orchestral
instruments. Through the pictures and CD, the
students will learn to recognize the different shapes and sounds of
each instrument. Music Beginner III, with more
songs, games, expressions, and rhythm patterns, hand bells,
tuning tubes, and solfege, helps your children to put every
components of music together and even create their own composition.
"Learn music in making music is the main theme of these programs.
This division of Music Beginner in 3 terms not only
helps your children to get familiar with music in a fun and progressive
way, but also provides flexible and practical scheduling for the
programming. We have set to start Music Beginner I anytime when
class size is filled. Space is limited so register for your
