The underlying theme is respect;

Children need freedom in a Little Folk's Music class to explore musical instruments without 'interruptions, that is why drums and jingles are laid upon the floor while entering a Little Folk's Music class.

Multicultural melody with a constant beat is added as children squeal with delight! 

Sometimes walking with this beat comes naturally while playing the chosen instruments. As the musical piece comes to an ending the ever important and constant, 'Pass it along' song guides the group in putting away all of the musical props. 

The class gathers into a group at the beginning, with a constant beat the whole class learns each others name with 'My name is.....' During activities the children's interest and attention is focused on a specific topic and communication relates to the task. 

These musical activities help develop listening skills and confidence to speak in groups, develop social skills.
 

Little Folk's Music provides musical activities that encourage communication and sharing. The underlying theme is respect; the adults respects the individuality of each child, the children are free to explore.

The Art of Family Chanting will be explored!!!!

Sad news, East End Arts did not get the students needed for their week long winter programs.   

Little Folk's Music will be at Comsewquoge Library on March 7!
 

Little Folk's Music believes that parents are the child's most influential teacher. 


"Babies are born ready to learn. Early neural connections occur at warp speed. Learning is faster, easier and more fun than it will ever be again. By age 3, certain developmental windows begin to close. By the time a child starts kindergarten, 90 percent of structural brain development is complete. The foundation for lifelong learning is largely set."

Whatever or wherever you call home, the serenity, peace and security that is there, will be how a child's learning will take root and grow.


"Early experiences profoundly impact a child's social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. Young children need consistent and supportive relationships with parents or other caregivers. They need frequent interactions with those adults. They need sensory stimulation, exposure to a language-rich environment and a feeling of safety and security."


Consistencies and routine are Little Folk's 

Music fundamental core!  

Sound imitation, rhyming, singing, and object / symbol identification foster language skills.  Moving to differing cultural music “moods” develops timing, spatial awareness and a sense of balance.

How does Little Folk's Music benefit your child?  
♥Exposure to new and ever changing world that allows the child's natural curiosity with families consistent reassurance and support.  
♥Promotes the interactive parent/child need for development through literacy, music and movement.   
♥Educates you on the fundamental impressionable, interactive role the parent and/or caregiver has on learning. 
♥Encourages successful learning through self-confidence, curiosity, self-expression, social behaviors and cooperation.
