More about the great music of the Jaguar Collection:
The Jaguar Rhythm is adapted from the duple-meter drumming patterns of Puerto Rico's Bomba dancing, an interplay where the drummer tries to follow the dancer's movements. We'll get to try it out ourselves with the song "Bailen Niños." We'll sing, dance and drum along to the lively patterns of "Ayiko, Ayiko," a welcome song from Southern Ghana. In "Singing' My Song," we'll sing and move to our own song...and everyone else's! And, perhaps best of all, we'll get to experience the joys of being a "Jaguar in the Jungle." All 22 selections in this collection have been chosen and arranged specifically to support each student's music development.

THIS SEMESTER
Introducing:
Online
With Music Together Online, you’ll have access to the same high-quality music and movement curriculum loved by millions of families and teachers around the world—from home!
During each live/interactive mini-class, Teacher Sylvia will lead activities for you and your whole family to sing, play, and jam along to. We’ll be using the Maracas collection, and Sylvia will show you how to make everyday items like dish towels, pots, laundry baskets, and stuffies into musical props! Even though your teacher is on the screen, each class has been designed as an active music-making experience for little ones and their grownups. Mixed-age classes are designed for children under 5, and Rhythm Kids is for ages 4-8, but the entire family is welcome (and encouraged!) to participate in the musical fun.
For more details, see the class information and registration page.
