"An unlimited amount of ability
can be developed when parent
and child are having fun together." - S. Suzuki
Teddy
Bear Rhythms is especially designed for young children and adults
to enjoy learning Music & Movement together in a relaxed environment.
The process builds self-esteem and confidence. Best of all, the
shared fun creates a warm bond between you and your child.
Basic musical competency - the ability to feel the beat and
sing in tune, is developed through a rich variety of activities.
Children march with basic rhythmic and tonal instruments, learn
finger plays, seasonal songs, and chants.
Much of class time is spent "on the move" with
circle games & free movement accompanied by cello, piano and
guitar. Puppets, balls, pinwheels, scarves, rhythm sticks, drums,
pony reins and elastics are used to enhance focus and fantasy play.
The goal is not simply to train little musicians, but to nurture
happy families and fine young people.

Teddy Bear Rhythms foundation class takes the child out of the
