Village: Hickory, Dickory Tickle, and Bounce

WEEK 1:

Our Village class started for the first time this week! Small in numbers, but so cute and fun! Hickory, dickory dock, steady beat is needed to walk! And this steady beat, the underlying pulse in music, is the focus of these first two weeks. An extremely important component for your baby’s emerging skills, steady beat will continue to play a vital part in her development throughout the coming years.

Most people, your baby included, have a strong internal sense of pulse. As you listen to your beautiful At Home CD this week, hold your baby close to your heart, simply listen to the music, and move as you do so. It will be your best practice session ever!
