Blue Bear School of Music - Little Bears Music Program
Early Childhood Music Education That Rocks!
==========================================
SING YOUR HEART OUT, MOVE TO THE MUSIC AND MAKE SOME NOISE!

The Little Bears Music Program welcomes all children, from 4 months up to 5 years old, to the magnificent world of music. The Little Bears Music Program weaves together an eclectic variety of traditional, folk, world and popular music with storytelling, dance, games and exposure to real musical instruments to create a unique musical experience for each child plus parent/caregiver. Specialized classes are offered for three different age groups as well as mixed age classes, and the level of activity and musical selection will grow along with your child.

We'll help you and your child find your voice, your groove and your sound! Come learn folk songs, nursery rhymes, children's songs, old spirituals, jazz standards, and of course, your favorite rock 'n' roll hits. Come play drums, shaker eggs, rhythm sticks, triangles, maracas, castanets, tambourines, agogos, wood blocks and more.
