WaitlistMusicologyFTF/Deer Valley Family Resource Center - Copper CreekThis program runs as a 3 week series. What Is Musicology? MUSICOLOGY is an enhanced music program designed specifically for newborns through 3-year olds. Parents and caregivers are along for that important one on one time with their child, while an experienced teacher orchestrates the fun! Classes are divided into specific developmental age groups which promote language, rhythm, motor skills, self-esteem, creativity and joy! In a fun and engaging atmosphere, children will explore musical instruments, creative movement, dancing and singing. They will be exposed to beats and rhythms spanning different eras and various parts of the world. Why Music? Music is the one activity that lights up all areas of the brain! When a baby is first born her brain is only 25% wired for how she will learn, and by age 3 her brain is 90% wired. Research shows that exposure to specific types of musical activities wires the brain for language, reading, math, and motor skills while nurturing emotional and social development. Musicology is proud to be partnered with New Directions Institute For Infant Brain Development (NDI) founded by Dr. Jill Stamm. Our innovative music curriculum is guided by research outlined in Dr. Stamm’s bestselling book Bright From The Start – The Simple, Science-Backed Way to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind From Birth to Age 3.
