These are demonstration music classes for babies’ ages 0 through 3 and their parents. Using traditional nursery rhymes, action songs, lullabies and instruments, these classes seek to build on the child’s natural delight in learning and lay the foundation for musical skills such as beat, rhythm, pitch and tone. Through parent/child interactions and class participation, students start to acquire attributes of trust, sharing, success and communication.
Additional Information: These classes will be led by Blaise Poth and Jennifer Shackleton. Both of these teachers are on faculty with the Community Music Program at UofL and also musicians with the Louisville Orchestra. To rsvp, e mail: suzukistrings@louisville.edu or call 502-639-7272.
