Item Description

You are bidding on 50% off any of Bloomingdale's early childhood classes for the fall 2010 semester for ages newborn to 6 years, including Orff & Delacroze methods.

Bloomingdale School of Music is a nonprofit community music school located at 323 West 108th Street, New York, New York. The school is housed in a five story, 103 year old brownstone which contains thirteen teaching studios, a reception room, offices and the David Greer Recital Hall.

Each semester, our experienced and caring instructors conduct age-appropriate activities with the goal of introducing young children to basic musical concepts. Through the use of percussion instruments, movement activities, listening exercises, and singing, our early childhood students begin to learn important concepts such as pitch, dynamics, and timbre. Additionally, motor control and inner hearing are also developed, enabling a natural transition to instrumental lessons. At Bloomingdale, we strive to make our classes educational and fun for both students and parents.

What makes Bloomingdale School of Music’s Early Childhood Program unique?

· Our teachers are musicians. They are trained and certified in early childhood educational methods and are also instrumentalists who complement their teaching with musical demonstrations.

·  Our classes are age-appropriate. Children develop at different rates, particularly when they are very young. The motor skills of a six month old are different from a 20 month old. Therefore, we structure our classes to specific age groups.

·  Our classes build skills. From Baby’s First Music Class through Dalcroze, Bloomingdale School of Music’s Early Childhood Program builds skills from one class to the next, ultimately preparing each child for instrumental instruction at the school.
