VKOD MMIND - Music for Life: Tiny Tunes for Growing Minds (Ages 1-5)
Course description
Music for Life: Tiny Tunes for Growing Minds” is an introductory group music class facilitated by a specialist in early childhood music education and music therapy. It is for young children (ages 1–5) with a range of neurodevelopmental and learning differences, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, global developmental delays, cerebral palsy, and other physical disabilities. The class is modeled on the Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) philosophy that “Every Child Can Learn”.
The program focuses on early childhood learning through music while incorporating therapeutic strategies that promote sensory regulation, confidence, and engagement. Through play-based and developmentally appropriate musical activities, students will explore rhythm, melody, improvisation and movement, while building foundational skills that support cognitive, social and emotional development.
