Demo Days

July 8, The Imaginations Music Studio is participating in Demo Days – a campaign in which more than 5,000 licensed Kindermusik educators are invited to conduct free class demonstrations for families around the world.

Kindermusik International www.kindermusik.com is the world’s leading publisher of music and movement curricula and products for parents and their children ages newborn to seven years old. Kindermusik educators provide tips that parents can take home from each class to help make great parenting easier in their daily routine.

Ninety-nine percent (99%) of Kindermusik parents would recommend it to other parents according to a Harris Interactive Online Study in November 2005

Demo Days will be offered in Pelham at the Cherubs Clubhouse on July 8 at 9:30 for 0 to 18 month olds and 10:00 for 18 months to 4 year olds. Parents should reserve their spot by calling Lauren Townsend in advance. The Kindermusik class schedule will begin July 15. Classes are open to everybody and registrations are accepted through July 15.

How young do you start piano?

This is a question I hear a lot.

I personally think that there is little value to starting private piano lesson earlier than Kindergarten or first grade. Fine motor skills and attention span need to be developed before piano lessons can be successful. HOWEVER, due to interest in younger piano study, I have developed introduction classes for kids as young as 3. In these classes we sing, move, learn basic rhythmic notation and learn the notes on the piano. We even play very simple songs. These classes are relaxed, fun without the pressure for performance. Children who begin piano with this introduction will be ready for group classes or private lessons when they start Kindergarten. I also offer Kindermusik for kids 0 to 7. Kindermusik is a wonderful introduction to ANY instrument.

Over the summer, we will be holding a series of trial classes at the Cherubs Clubhouse for kids 3 and up to try piano classes before signing up for an entire term. Our classes will be held June 17, June 24, July 22 and July 29. A full schedule is listed at https://imaginationsmusic.musicteachershelper.com. No materials are required for these classes. No piano at home is required for the summer course. 30 minute classes are $10.00 per class and 45 minute classes are $15.00. You can come to as little as one class. Classes are not successive, so feel free to join us at any time!

In our classes we will learn the basics about the piano, improv our own songs, compose our own songs, and play simple songs. Come try out a class and join us for our fall semester!
