MUSIC & MOVEMENT
(Ages 5 to 7 years, children
only)
All
dance classes are offered in partnership with Friends
Select School and take place at its location at 17th and the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia
Taught
by Victoria McGuigan, Katherine Paulson
This
course is a fun and highly physical program designed to aid the student
in understanding rhythm. It introduces the child to the basic principles
of music using songs, movement explorations and movement games. Rhythmic
timing and rhythmic structure are presented to the student, first
using percussion instruments and/or the singing voice and then transferring
the rhythms to one or more body parts. Gradually the student learns
to understand and process rhythm using the whole body as an instrument.
