Moves & Grooves Just another WordPress site 2014-05-23T13:57:38Z https://movesandgrooves.ca/feed/atom/ WordPress movesandgrooves https://movesandgrooves.ca/?p=419 2014-03-20T13:58:48Z 2014-03-20T13:58:48Z Moves & Grooves is seeking new Kindermusik educators to join our Maestro Awarded program in Edmonton.

If music and children make your life richer, now you can enjoy them to the fullest.  Join the Kindermusik community of teachers and families who all share a passion for transforming the lives of children through music and movement. You can be part of the world’s most carefully researched, developmentally based musical learning program – and still balance the other priorities in your life. In short, it’s the easiest and most rewarding way to put your own gifts to work.

The best perk of all…FREE classes for your family!  Most of our Moves & Grooves team is made up of moms who first started their love of Kindermusik while attending classes with their child, and then decided they didn’t want to go back to their “day jobs” after maternity leave.  Teaching Kindermusik was the perfect fit!

All Moves & Grooves teachers must have strong vocal skills, and a music background and education.  Successful candidates with Moves & Grooves will enroll in Kindermusik International’s 8 – 12 week licensing program, as well as participate in Moves & Grooves mentoring and training.  Our teachers need to have lots of energy and enthusiasm, and be GREAT communicators!

This is a part time position, and is a perfect supplement to post-secondary school, teaching private lessons or at a preschool, or another part time job, as well as perfect for a stay at home parent (who wants to do some music on the side!). A background check and criminal record check is required.

For more information, please contact Owner/Director Sheena Misenas at [email protected].  Learn more about Moves & Grooves at www.movesandgrooves.ca.

movesandgrooves https://movesandgrooves.ca/?p=415 2013-07-15T20:41:00Z 2013-07-15T20:41:00Z We are so excited to be adding two new Kindermusik class options for kids 4 to 7 years old!

Move & Groove for ages 4 to 6 yrs - From the moment you became a parent, you wanted the best for your child. In class, we engage your child in music and movement activities that also promote language, social and emotional skills, early math and early literacy, physical coordination, creativity, and more. Plus, your child will learn basic music vocabulary and notation—all setting the stage for future school success and formal music lessons. Parents join the fun for the final activities. The Kindermusik@Home digital home materials extend the benefits all week long with music from class, activities for the whole family, and each month’s story.

Young Child for ages 5 to 7 - Using a small-group approach to music education, Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a pressure-free class where your child can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers.

movesandgrooves https://movesandgrooves.ca/?p=414 2013-07-15T20:40:07Z 2013-07-15T20:40:07Z Delightful and loving!  Two new Kindermusik curricula are being created to provide the opportunity to offer a separate class for babies who are not yet walking and one for babies who are on-the-move!

Cuddle & Bounce for 0′s and 1′s - With age-appropriate activities for newborns, infants and crawlers, this parent-child music and movement class will help you strengthen those early parent-child bonds, understand your baby’s development, and heavily focus on child development and communication with your baby. You and your baby will enjoy instrument play, dance, exploration time, and together time—and you’ll get expert advice and parenting resources based on the most recent research in baby development.

Sing & Play for 1′s and 2′s - This new Kindermusik curriculum focuses on your child’s beginning movement, helping to build the muscles your baby needs to walk, and vocal development, helping to nurture your child’s speaking and singing voice. With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your older baby or toddler learns on her own. Embark on Kindermusik’s fun new exploration of singing, swaying, laughing, and playing through Sing & Play, a just-right mix of early-childhood vocal play and language development, together time, and music and movement activities!

Register For Your Spring Classes Now!

Spring is here, and so is our spring schedule with Kindermusik Adventure camps and ABC Music & Me classes replacing the core Kindermusik cirriculum until fall.  Here’s a look at the new classes for spring and summer:

ABC Music & Me
- 3 & 4 year olds

In an ABC, Music & Me class, your child will embark on a musical journey of discovery and exploration. We’ll play instruments, enhance vocal development, and learn keyboard skills and musical concepts through activities that promote problem solving, self-confidence and individual expression.

Adventures - Newborn to 18 monthsPeek-A-Boo! I Love You!—More than just a curious story, Mother Goose games like peek-a-boo help babies understand language. In this special camp, uncover more ways to say “I love you” using American Sign Language, soap bubbles, and parent-baby dances. Plus, parents can meet with other newborns and families in the community and learn how music improves the child development process.

Busy Days—Set your baby’s day to classical music. With a little more Tchaikovsky in your “Twinkle, Twinkle” repertoire discover new ways baby benefits from the classics as you develop an appreciation for the world’s most respected music. Each lesson features new activities and songs that the parent can sing for all the places baby and mom go together—the store, the playground, the doctor, and more.

Adventures - 18 months to 3 years

Zoo Train!— Toddlers and trains make a natural match—always on the move. Tag along this summer with a traveling zoo train. Bring your own stuffed animals for the petting zoo. Wear long white socks on your hands for polar bear paws and learn about real animals in the zoo. Sing songs for clapping time, and use music to help toddlers regulate emotions.

Creatures in My Backyard—Give children something to sing about in their own backyards. Be the flower from the “seed’s” perspective. Run and jump in rain puddles made from hula hoops.

Creatures at the Ocean—Sing sailor songs and make the ocean count. “Five little seashells lying on the shore: Swish! Went the waves and then there were four.”
