CD and Curriculum created by award winning songwriter and veteran teacher, Stacy Jagger-
The Music with Mommie™ CD’s and class activities are designed to create a fun bonding experience between mother and child, while stimulating the minds our little loved ones through a variety of rhythms, styles, instruments, and scales. Classes feature a combination of original, classic, and popular music.
A Relaxed and Casual Atmosphere Come prepared to play and meet new friends! Children join in as they are comfortable and do so at their own developmental level. Research shows that learning is stimulated through play. In the meantime, the mommies enjoy the fun, the friendship, and there is plenty of laughter to go around!
Mixed age classes Activities focus on the mom/child interaction rather than child-to-child interaction, so that children of different ages can enjoy class together.
Research has proven that music instruction at an early age enhances spatial reasoning skills, which are critical for higher brain function and success in math and science. Early musical achievement promotes language development, fine/gross motor coordination, social behavior and interactions, self-expression, and symbolic thinking. In addition, music students demonstrate an increased ability to learn and retain new information quicker and easier.
Bonding and attachment between mother and child is enhanced– which has been shown to establish the core strengths on which we form our relationships, sense of security, resilience to stress and emotional flexibility. The brain at birth is programmed to connect us to a very significant person. How we relate to that special someone will profoundly influence every part of growth– physical, mental, emotional and intellectual.
Each month our songs and themes change Each month, you will receive a coordinating song sheet to take home. It is our hope that you will learn the songs, chants, and musical activities taught in class so that you can go home and enjoy Music with Mommie All Day Long!
