Our older group for 15months – 4 years with lots of instruments, props, activities and play across a range of musical styles to suit this lively age group. Besides the wide variety of instruments and songs, there are lots of actions, tickling, raspberries, fabrics and parachutes, clapping and jumping, as well as more calming bubbles and fairy lights and a touch of signing. Maxi is 45 minutes of fun, since at this age their stimulation and energy can last a little longer. You may have noticed… Be prepared to join in with the actions and rock out with them – and don’t forget to bring your air guitars!

Description

Maxi Mice is our older preschooler and toddlers music and movement class in Cornwall. There will be plenty of variety from week to week to make sure your little one gets a wide range of musical play and activity. This is balanced with the loose structure and familiarity that children benefit from. We will always sing the same opening and closing songs with varying silly songs and nursery rhymes in the middle. We like to get the bubbles out every week and some swathe of fabric or parachute to wobble or hide under.

In Maxi Mice, we focus on songs suited to this older audience and lots of movement. As well as having lots of fun and exploring music and movement, there are tricks to help the children start to pick up on different rhythms, tempos and moods. Similarly there are ways to help them in their physical and motor skill development. It might not always be obvious, but we build in carefully considered movement elements. For example, we practice crossing the midline which aids physical and brain development. This helps in skills such as writing, visual tracking and putting on shoes.

In time they will learn how different songs make them feel. It’s amazing to watch little ones grow to discern whether a song makes them feel calm, or silly, or “rocking”. Then, as they grow, you’ll see them learn to choose songs to suit their moods. Our preschoolers and toddler music and movement classes don’t stop there though! We integrate all sorts of educational learning opportunities through the different weekly themes because they love it!

The grown ups will enjoy the Maxi Mice music too – we don’t think children need to have bad taste in music. We’ve made music the whole family can enjoy across a range of genres to introduce little ones to its variety. Who knows, your little one might surprise you with a love of rock, or funk, or country music!
