Mandarin Music offers parents and children the opportunity to learn the beautiful Mandarin language through the ease and fun of music making while strengthening the bond between parent and child. Emotions have a tremendous impact on learning. By providing caring, responsive attention to your child, you also provide a sense of security and warmth, which will allow your child to grow into an assured, confident learner.
In class, you and your child will explore many facets of the Mandarin language and culture. You will learn authentic Chinese children's songs, and will become accustomed to the different sounds and tonalities. Through our multi-sensory learning, we will engage a number of senses simultaneously, making the most lasting impressions because they make a number of neural connections at once. Repetition of the experience then reinforces these neural pathways. With more interconnections, the brain learns and remembers more effectively. All of this will happen within a nurturing and musical environment filled with singing, dancing and playing instruments.
With your home music book and CD, you will extend the classroom into the home, where your child learns the most. She will learn from you, her most important teacher. Share Mandarin music with the whole family and allow it to become a part of everyday ritual and rhythm.
All this music making may seem like play to your child, but powerful learning is taking place before your eyes! I invite you to indulge in the beautiful world of Mandarin Music with your child.
