Music & craft Parent/Child
Join us for Parent Child Tuesdays
Free Tuesdays 9:45 am and 5:30pm at Mount Moriah Church Byron, MN
stop by for fun-filled classes of singing, dancing, movement, and Craft. This is a parent-with-child class mainly for children ages 4 months through 4 years. Families are welcome as older children play along and have fun.
Sunrise
Pre-keyboard music and movement (2-3 years)
Sunrise is an exciting and innovative pre-school music & movement program with a flexible format that fits the level of development of these children perfectly. Sunrise is a parent-with-child class for children ages 2 to early 4. Join us for a series of three 10-week sessions that are 45 minutes once a week.
Sunshine
Early piano with rhythm, pitch, song, and activities (3-4 years)
Sunshine, the youngest of the keyboard programs, is the earliest of the MYC® Method for 3-4-year-old beginners-with-adult. We use stories, songs and activities with our music friend characters to build understanding for their foundation in music reading and playing the piano. Students experience activities in technique, pitch, rhythm, and song.
Mouse N Bear
Beginning Piano program (4-6 years)
Students-with-adult are introduced to piano geography, pitch, and rhythm to help set their foundation of music knowledge and education. The pace of learning for the child matches their developmental stages. We introduce “big kid” terminology for concepts, finger numbers, and keyboard geography all with our music friend characters.
Kids at the Keys
Beginner program for older students (7-11 years)
Kids a the Keys is designed to support the students’ growing sense of independence. The class does not require the parent in class - but you are welcome to stay around or even participate! I love to have fun with music learning. We use songs, ensembles, and keyboarding and incorporate piano theory, technique, and harmonization. We continue to use songs and activities to build understanding. This is a beginning electric piano class learning how to use those voices and rhythms in the keyboard you have around the house! This class is also great as an enrichment class to traditional piano lessons.
Adults at the Keys
Small group keyboard program for adults
These classes are designed for adult learners. The class has solid piano skills emphasized in every class time. The goal is to have fun learning to play the ‘Keys’ with others using enjoyable music. The pace of these classes work well for working adults and retired seniors.
Contact Karen for availability
We work with students of all ages to grow in musical skills and teach them how to use music for their own enjoyment. While our group classes are a great place to start your musical journey, Mapleford Studio offers individual Piano, keyboard, voice, ukulele, and guitar lessons for chlidren and adults. We’ve aided many individual students in audition prep with most getting seats and scholarships.
