Infant & Toddler Jam

Give your baby a winning start

Music instruction has been shown to help enhance development in numerous aspects:

AUDITORY

Children practice listening to human speech through song and various instruments (woodwinds, strings, percussion, and brass) with a wide variety of pitches and timbres, stimulating their brain activity and honing their auditory discrimination skills.
LANGUAGE

Music elicits verbal response from babies and toddlers, who practice babbling and listen carefully to the cadence, timbre, and sounds of speech through songs in class.

As psychologist Daniel Levitin once said, “Music processing helps infants to prepare for language; it may pave the way to linguistic prosody, even before the child’s developing brain is ready to process phonetics. Music for the developing brain is a form of play, an exercise that invokes higher-level integrative processes that nurture exploratory competence, preparing the child to explore generative language development through babbling eventually, and ultimately more complex linguistic and paralinguistic productions”.

SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL

Our group classes prepare children for preschool or elementary school. Turn-taking, conflict resolution, delayed gratification, and teamwork are all exercised in our specialized classes. Babies and young children benefit socially by getting to know their little classmates and learning how to interact with other children.

Music also benefits a child's mental well-being. The parent-child connection is nurtured in babies and toddlers by playing music together while the music soothes and stimulates the child’s developing brain. For older children, music as creative self-expression is excellent for boosting self-discipline and self-confidence!
INTELLECTUAL

Evidence-based literature suggests that music instruction improves spatial-temporal reasoning, making learning math and science more accessible. Learning music also helps improve memory and concentration skills.

Infants (36-minute class)

In our classes, INFANTS gradually develop their gross motor skills. They reach out and grasp for their little instruments. They can hold and tap a mallet or shake maracas and tambourines. While the children are having fun playing along with the music, they rapidly improve their important hand-eye coordination.

Onesy/Twosy (40-minute class)

ONE-year-olds enjoy producing sounds in as many ways as possible. They love shaking maracas, tapping wave drums, blowing into their recorders, strumming guitars, singing, babbling, and talking in response to the music. They begin to recognize their favorite songs and dance to the rhythm.

TWO-year-olds begin to sing along with their favorite songs and dance in response to the music.
Math skills are acquired by playing to particular rhythms and counting to the beat of the music.

Three & Fours (40-minute class)

THREES plus now have a complete understanding of high and low (physically and musically), loud and soft (“forte” and “piano”), slow and fast, stop and go (or “play” and “rest” musically) and enjoy practicing their skills together in class. They also remember the words to their favorite songs and love to sing along with their teacher.
