Tumwater Youth Program

YOUTH ENRICHMENT

Kindermusik Foundations

Cuddle, bounce and bop with your baby! With age-appropriate activities for newborns, infants and crawlers, this parent-child music and movement class will help you strengthen those early parent-child bonds, understand your baby’s development, and heavily focus on child development and communication with your baby through instrument play, dance and song.

Session 1: Rise 'n' Shine

Good morning, sunshine–it’s time to start the day! Babies can start their days in all kinds of ways–but the way to make the most of mornings is to establish a loving, predictable, day-to-day pattern. Up and at ’em routines and rituals take center stage in Rise & Shine.

Session 1: Zoom Baby

Bumpity-bump, zippity-zoom, babies are on the go! This unit is packed with move-move-movement, as spatial development takes focus. Activities that explore distance, speed, placement, reaching, dancing, rocking, bouncing, and wheels-on-the-bus-ing all get baby zoomzoom-zooming to big smiles in Zoom Baby.

Kindermusik Mixed Age

Accommodating all levels of learning and musical ability, mixed-age classes are perfect for friends, siblings and family bonding! Movement activities, group dances, and instrument play will be modified for everyone to enjoy.

Session 1: Colors and Shapes on the Farm

Get on your tractor and drive down to the barn – it’s time to encounter a farmyard of fun! In this unit, we’ll explore some of the colors, shapes, and sounds found on the farm as we walk in the green grass, go ’round and ’round the haystack, and listen to roosters crowing and pigs oinking. Colors & Shapes on the Farm is loaded with songs, dances, instrument play-alongs, as well as listening activities that provide lots of play and lots of learning. So come on down to the farm!

Session 1: Go, Go, Go

Ready? Set? Go, Go, Go! It’s time to get in the car, row the boat, and ride the rails as we explore all kinds of movement in this transportation-themed unit. We’ll delve into the concept of up and down, have fun with tempo changes, and enjoy bumpy bounces and the challenge of stop-and-go games. We’ll also have a boatload of fun – and learning – as we sing, dance, play instruments, chug like trains and beep like cars. So buckle up, here we go!
