Musical Connections: Family Music Classes
We are pleased to offer 2 family music classes hosted by Laura Ronin, a music educator with more than 15 years of experience designing and delivering music and movement sessions in international educational contexts. Specialized in early childhood music education, creative movement, and child-centered learning approaches that support language development, social interaction, and socio-emotional growth.
Class 1: Family Music Class for Babies Aged 10–20 Months
Date: June 9, 11:00 am-12:00 pm
Where: Sala Naranja (Library)
Theis class is designed for babies and their caregivers in a calm, welcoming environment where music, rhythm, and movement gently encourage early curiosity and exploration.
- Through songs, rhymes, soft bouncing on a caregiver’s lap, simple dances, and quiet moments of relaxation, babies are invited to:
- Explore sounds, instruments, and age-appropriate sensory materials
- Build balance, coordination, and early motor skills
- Develop early communication through imitation, vocal play, and sound-making
- Feel secure and connected through shared touch, rhythm, and music
Music becomes a meaningful bridge for connection, communication, and bonding. Caregivers also learn songs and simple activities they can easily repeat at home, helping to weave music into daily routines and create joyful, mindful shared moments.
Class 2: Family music class for children 21 months to 4 years
Date: June 10th, 5:30-6:30 pm
Where: Sala Naranja (Library)
A joyful, active class for young children and their caregivers where music and movement inspire curiosity, creativity, and self-expression.
Through songs, dancing, instruments, stories, and playful games, children:
- Explore music and movement in a fun, interactive environment
- Develop balance, coordination, and body awareness
- Strengthen attention, listening skills, and early musical understanding
- Learn English naturally through singing, rhythm, and repetition
