Baby, Music, and Me (Ages: 9 – 24 Months):
By their very developmental nature, infants are sponges, taking in everything in their environment such as the building blocks of language, facial expressions, and coordination of their bodies as a whole. Understanding this fundamental part of child development, Lakewood Conservatory of Fine Arts began “Baby, Music and Me” classes to help foster this development through the universal language of music. We also aim to make the classes a bonding experience for parent(s) and baby.
Baby Bach (Ages: 2 – 3 Years):
By their very developmental nature, toddlers brains are like sponges, taking in everything in their environment such as the building blocks of language, facial expressions, and coordination of their bodies as a whole. Research shows that musical training creates new pathways in the brain of babies and toddlers.
Baby Bach classes include rhymes, lullabies, floor games, and action songs with instruments.
