Course description: Join us in "Music Sprouts," an insightful 8-week course where each session is dedicated to exploring a unique emotion through melody, movement, and play. Under the guidance of singer and guitarist Miss Karina (who will sing in English and Spanish!), we will capture the essence of emotion, from the exuberance of "Happiness" to the tranquility of "Calmness," in order to help your child experience and understand emotions in a musical context. Alongside these songs, we'll introduce classical pieces that resonate with the week's emotion, offering a rich auditory experience. Each class includes a playful activity designed to embody the emotion, enhancing your child's emotional literacy and expression.

A key feature of "Music Sprouts" is the creation of weekly emotion cards. Each card features the emotion word on the front and a mini lesson plan on the back, including the lyrics of the song sung by Karina. These cards serve as tangible reminders of the session's focus, allowing children to hold up their cards during singing to visually reinforce the emotion. Parents will accumulate these cards throughout the course, building a toolkit for at-home emotional check-ins, providing a structured way to discuss and recognize feelings with your child in everyday life.

The core mission of "Music Sprouts" is to deepen children's understanding of specific emotions, giving them context and language to express themselves. By linking music, classical pieces, and interactive play, we foster an environment where emotional intelligence flourishes. These emotion cards, filled with lyrics and activities, become a cherished resource, encouraging ongoing conversations about emotions at home, helping to build stronger, more emotionally aware parent-child relationships.

Our class nurtures a love for music while building essential skills that prepare young children for the joys and challenges of future music lessons and a lifetime of music-making. Through playful exploration, rhythm, and song, we lay the foundation for musical confidence, creativity, and emotional expression.

In “Mommy & Me” style, caregivers are expected to join their little ones!
