Music Makers Classes: Pueblo (Multilingual)
Have a curious one on your hands asking a million questions?
This curiosity drives their learning and exploration, making it a prime time for educational activities and fostering a love for learning .
How can I get my active child to stay focused in a music class?
The answer might surprise you. By not staying still for too long!
The reality is that children actually need to move more to focus more. Sounds like an oxymoron? Well, the proof is in the pudding.
Research indicates children ages 4-7 learn music most effectively when actively engaged in making music through multi-sensory experiences. That means young children still need that valuable 'learning through play' approach from earlier years, to sustain their attention. This makes it easier for your child to transition into more independently structured classes.
Should my child study only one instrument?
Definitely not only one. Young school-aged kids need to be encouraged to use their #1 instrument - their voice and various easily-manipulated musical instruments to imitate, improvise and play as part of an ensemble group to develop their motor skills.
Will they learn to read music notation?
In a simple and fun way yes! Since they can aurally and visually recognise different patterns in music, this can mark the beginning of their pathway to true music literacy, fostering joy in the learning process.
What makes music class at Alabanza Music different?

What activities are done in this Musical Pueblo class?
Singing, tonal and rhythm patterns, poetry and storytelling, movement activities, guided listening, playing familiar melodies on pitched instruments and manipulative games.
Rudimentary music skills such as pitch matching, beat competency, ensemble development, and music notation are dealt with using themes from the child's home environment and natural surroundings. Children begin learning more about rests, common melodic patterns, rhythmic patterns, tempo, dynamics and instrument classification etc.
Whether it's building a paper boat, making a pair of maracas from scratch or colouring poster pages,
we do artwork too, all part of helping develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
This class is all about community "pueblo" and is Level I of our Piano Preparatory curriculum designed to bridge the gap between earlier Family Music classes and the groundbreaking Music Makers At the Piano class up ahead.
Parents/Caregivers sit in towards the end of the session for review.
Explore the benefits for my primary schooler
Children 4-6yrs are still actively developing their physical bodies and need to move their bodies to learn. Therefore they will readily learn many musical and language concepts (e.g. opposites loud/quiet) readily through movement based exploration.
