Cornerstone Music Studios at Millstone is set to begin its Summer Session of Musikgarten, group music and movement classes for children ages birth to age five. Our popular toddler classes run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from May 31st through June 30th, for a total of 5 classes. Summer Session classes will focus on Nature’s Music allowing parent and child to discover and share the wonder and mystery of nature, fostering a steady beat, sense of pitch and aural skills – the foundations of music language awaken and develop your child’s inborn joy and talent for making music through connections with nature.
Family Music for Babies (babies birth to 15 months of age) allows parents and caregivers to learn ways to play musically with their babies in their arms. This class features bouncing and rocking songs and helps develop babies listening skills. Classes will be held Wednesdays at 9:45 am.
Family Music for Toddlers (children 15 months to 3 years of age) with parent or caregiver will explore the world of sound more on their own. This class further develops musical aptitude and focused listening and assists memory through repetition. Classes will be held Thursdays at 10:15 am.
Cycle of Seasons (children 3 to 5 years of age) allows the child to explore moving singing and talking skills while fostering a child’s vivid imagination. Activities for this class build on child’s growing independence and competencies. Classes will take place on Tuesday at 10:15 and 1:15pm, and Wednesday at 11:00 am.
Classes are limited to eight children. Register early! For further information and to register your child, please visit our website at cornerstonemusicstudios.com or contact us at (732) 446-1919.
