Music Classes
Pre-Twinkle Classes provide opportunities for very young children to develop basic musicianship and readiness skills for success in the Suzuki approach. Music from different Suzuki instruments will be featured helping to transition students into the more formal environment of lessons as well as introducing parents to the Suzuki philosophy.
A core component of Pre-Twinkle classes at Temple Music Prep is Suzuki POP (Paper Orchestra Program). Students will build a guitar and violin/viola out of everyday household items, sing, and move with their instruments. Students will have a variety of musical enrichment activities that mix arts and crafts with music. Students will do drills to start establishing a set of guitar and violin/viola performing skills. Students will learn instrument and bow parts plus the famous “Twinkle Variations” on their Paper guitar and violin/viola. At the end of the session, students will present a short performance to show off their instrument.
Both child and parent observe and learn from the instructor as well as others in the class. Children develop concentration, good posture and concepts of a beautiful tone in this supportive group environment. Parents attend classes with their child and learn to guide the child's progress and prepare for future individual lessons and practice.
