BABY MUSIC OF ABILENE

Offering children and their parents the chance to learn and enjoy music to enrich lives

The Abilene Philharmonic is excited to offer Baby Music of Abilene in partnership with Suzuki educators Joyce McGlaun and Caitlin Clark! This program is a part of the Philharmonic’s Academy of Music initiative to reach students of all ages beginning as early as infancy.

Suzuki trained instructors Joyce McGlaun and Caitlin Clark use nursery rhymes, dance, action songs, and instruments to teach basic musical skills such as pitch matching, rhythm recognition. Students have the opportunity to play age appropriate tuned and untuned percussion instruments with supervision. The importance of listening and learning music as a language is emphasized with a purchased recording for daily use at home. Young students learn in a stimulating, musical, non-threatening environment. Activities are chosen to promote development of fine and gross motor coordination, listening, sequencing, memory, pre-reading and pre-math as well as character building through music learning. Parents are guided in observing and teaching their children.

The goal of this program is to offer young children and their parents the chance to learn about and to enjoy music together and, thus, to enrich lives.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK “JOIN TODAY” UNTIL AFTER INSTRUCTED BY SUSIE. After filling out the interest form, she will let you know if there are any spots open and will tell you how to proceed.
