"Math teachers know that fractions can be hard for the average third-grader. Teachers at a public school in San Bruno, Calif., just south of San Francisco, are trying something new. They're teaching difficult math concepts through music, and they're getting remarkable results."
npr.org: Fractions curriculum in Fractions Curriculum Strikes the Right Note with Students.To learn more about teaching early concepts of music and notation to young children, ask about the Young Child program in Kindermusik Training.
Age range: 5 to 7 years old
Class length: 60-70 minutes
Children learn to play three basic instruments - a stringed, wind, and keyboard instrument - along with early concepts of music and notation.
Using a small-group approach to music education, Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a pressure-free class where your child can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers.
The program is designed to prepare the young child who is eager for first experiences with musical symbols and instrument discovery but is not yet ready for formal lessons and traditional music reading with an instrument. Parents or caregivers are encouraged to attend the last 10-15 minutes of class.
