    Viola's Notes



    Viola's Notes is a multicultural music and movement program created for young children. It is greatly influenced by the Orff approach, child development theories on play, and Viola's experience working with young children. The program reflects developmentally appropriate practice and is founded on a strong belief that all children have musical potentials.
    During class children will explore traditional children's songs, classical, folk and world music through singing games, rhymes, fingerplays, creative movement, folk dancing, storytelling, instrumental jam sessions, body percussion and improvisation. Attending the class will expose children to important aspects of music-making, such as: moving in rhythm, listening, singing in various tonalities, developing social skills, learning about fast and slow, soft and loud, as well as using music and movement as forms of self-expression. During group music time children will learn about different cultures and experience the important social and musical aspects of sharing music and making music together.

    Viola's Notes offers classes in East Bay Preschools, as well as afternoon and weekend Classes for Families.
    Viola also offers Italian Immersion Music and Movement Classes for children and families. Classes are taught in Italian, children and parents will learn Italian songs and dances, play instruments and be involved in active storytelling. Classes are designed to teach Italian language and culture through the use of music and dance. Non-native speakers are welcome to attend!
