Tunes for Tots
Tunes for Tots is a Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) class where children, their caregivers, and a certified teacher explore musical concepts within a nurturing environment. In SECE, we believe that every child can learn, and they learn from one another. We believe that ability develops early, and that success breeds success. Through critical parental involvement, modeling, and encouragement, children participate with their caregiver(s) in vocal, instrumental, movement, and rhythmic activities that ignite cognitive, communicative, and social development from an early age. These activities also foster a special bond between children and their caregivers. Caregiver involvement is essential to ensure that we are providing a nurturing space for children to develop empathy, self-regulation, and creativity through our carefully considered Suzuki Early Childhood Education curriculum. A study published in the Journal of Developmental Science in 2012 found that one-year-old babies who participated in Suzuki Early Childhood Education with their parents over just six months smile more, communicate better, show earlier and more sophisticated brain responses to music, show less distress when things were unfamiliar or didn't go their way, and showed increased ability in the areas of focus and concentration. By participating, your child will be in an environment in which they can obtain thorough mastery, developing not only their musical abilities but more importantly, their character. “Character first, ability second.” ~Dr. Suzuki
