This wonderful curriculum is designed for children 18 months through 3½ years. Children and parents or caregivers meet weekly for a fun-filled 45-minute class of singing, chanting, movement activities, instrument exploration and interactive story time. Activities in class, as well as home materials, stimulate ideas for adult and child to continue making music, facilitate exploration at home and will foster preparation for successful learning in school. There are four non-sequential semesters. Materials for each semester include: two CDs, a home activity book, two literature books, a specially designed instrument and carrying case.

For the 3½- to 5-year-old, imagination is everything. Every experience becomes an opportunity for self-discovery. Encouraging this creativity inside your child, Imagine That incorporates pretend play activities with vocal development, storytelling, listening, movement and literacy aspects in each lesson. In a small group setting, instrument play is introduced to foster fine motor skills as well as familiarity with basic concepts like rhythm, pitch and timbre. Vocal exploration develops the child’s singing voice, and creative movement strengthens coordination and repertoire of movements. Listening activities cultivate discrimination skills while peer interaction affirms social skills. Children attend the first 30 minutes of class on their own, and parents or caregivers will join for a 10- to 15-minute family sharing time at the end. The home materials include instruments that help develop musical learning and enhance creative musical expression. Literature books provide opportunities for language development, singing and imaginative play. The home materials also encourage families to explore activities and create projects together. In addition, each semester the class will enjoy an instrument demonstration with a professional musician! Materials include: two CDs, instrument, books, family activity book, play set and backpack.

This class is designed for the student whose primary interest in music is singing. Children of all vocal abilities are welcome. Do-Re-Mi Singers learn the basics of good vocal production, vocal sight-reading and the fundamentals of ensemble singing. This class provides an excellent musical foundation for children who are interested in taking private lessons or participating in Milford Branch auditioned choirs when they are older.
Prerequisite: None.
