YOUTH CLASSES

TODDLER AND PRESCHOOL MUSIC & MOVEMENT CLASS

Registrations are now being taken for the Fall Session of Toddlers and Preschool Music/ Movement.  Classes are held Wednesday mornings at Ladera Recreation Center, 150 Andeta Way, Portola Valley-(near I280 and Alpine Rd). Membership to LRD is not necessary.  The classes will begin September 8 and continue through December 15  - No classes on November 24.    The fee for 14 classes is $165.  The age breakdown is somewhat conditional and flexible pending registrations.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The classes include age appropriate activities and materials to foster the child's natural creativity, and enhance enjoyment of music in a relaxed, positive environment.  There is a balance of movement/dances, hands on materials (rhythm instruments, scarves, puppets, etc), songs, finger games, chants/rhymes/poems, incorporating  music of various styles, periods and cultures.  The material is usually thematic and introduces basic musical concepts, and encourages listening skills and development of the whole child. 

All classes are developed and led by Janet Coberly, a former music teacher in public and private schools for 20 years, at Ladera Rec for 10 years, at  schools in Redwood City for 12 years and at Ladera Preschool for 5 years.
