Kindermusik- Busy Days! Ages 0-18 months
Fee: $99.00 [See Schedule]
Welcome to Busy Days!Kindermusik Busy Days celebrates the rich lives parents and children share. Even the most mundane tasks or outings become extraordinary when we look through a child's eyes and experience the world as fresh and new. A trip to a grocery store, child in tow, can feel like drudgery from time to time, but imagine how the colors, shapes, smells and sounds might be a sensory feast to a little one. And, if the parent is armed with songs, rhymes and games to enjoy while cruising down the aisles or wile away a long wait in line at the register, the experience might become more than just a chore completed. It can be a journey briming with fun and learning. The Busy Days outings are those experienced by parents and children universally (some definitely involving more pleasure principle than others). But whether it's to the doctor's office or the park; to splash in the water or bounce on Grandma's knee, a parent's repertoire of on-the-go, attention-getting songs and rhymes will grow. A special feature of Busy Days is the intentional focus on classical music. The melodies of the hellp and good-bye songs are borrowed from music masters and inclusion of orchestral classics by Bach, Haydn, Handel and Vivaldi for gathering, Quiet and Play and Share times expand parents and child'd familiarity with enjoyment of classical music.
