Let's make music! We are starting our tiniest friends on foam fiddles ($22 addtl, one time fee) which they keep to "practice" on whenever they wish to. In this fun-filled class, Tiny Fiddlers dance, sing songs, play rhythm games, and learn the first basics of playing and caring for the violin. Children get a great start on learning music by ear, using their voices to make music, practicing violin position, exploring hand percussion instruments, playing with rhythm sticks, and further developing motor skills through hand/eye coordination games. This is a class full of musical explorations that enrich a child's development, motor skills, and sense of belonging. Tiny Fiddlers is an on-going class that many families take repeatedly! *If you'd prefer to borrow a foam fiddle for class, rather than purchase your own, please mention it at registration.
