Mini BAMM (Biology | Art | Music in Motion)
Ages 3-5 In-Person and Online Options Is your child inquisitive about the world around them? Are your kids full of energy and curious about the world around them?

Integral Steps' unique curriculum, developed by a team of passionate education- and child-development specialists, makes learning fun! Children learn about the water cycle, plants, bugs and more while also expressing themselves creatively through the arts and music. This is a condensed version of our BAMM class, aimed at younger children. Music in Motion

Rhythmic Solfège I-V
Ages 6-15 In-Person with Online Option The Dalcroze Rhythmic- Solfège sequence provides all of the necessary building blocks to achieve success with any instrument. Rhythmic Solfège builds on the principles of learning music through movement with the addition of focused musical study on keyboard percussion; the end goal of the sequence is comprehensive musicianship! This is a process-oriented program using the Dalcrozian tenants of joy, discovery and experiential education as its foundation, and delving into musical subjects and literature. Assignments on a keyboard percussion instrument and homework are a regular part of the curriculum. A commitment from both parent and child to practice together at least 10 minutes each day, 5 days each week is expected. We are grateful to The Dalcroze School of the Rockies for providing their curriculum for all of our Rhythmic Solfège classes. www.dalcrozeschooloftherockies.com Suzuki Piano: Instrumental Add-On
Ages 6-12 In-person only Suzuki Piano is an add-on to the Rhythmic Solfège Sequence, where students apply the theory and musicality they're learning in Rhythmic Solfège to learning piano! In Dalcroze Eurhythmics, we focus on developing the first instrument, the body, in order to facilitate ease at our musical instruments, which are just an extension of our bodies. In the Suzuki pedagogy and philosophy, Dr. Suzuki points out that every child posses a high potentiality that can be developed through education. Music is a language, and if we fill our lives with this language, just like our mother-tongue language, we can become experts in the language of music. Suzuki Piano I students must be concurrently enrolled in Rhythmic Solfège I or II. |
