During a typical 30-40 minute class, we will sing with and without guitar accompaniment, play a variety of rhythm instruments, use props like scarves as an extension of the rhythm of our bodies, and do small and large movement appropriate to each song.  Based on the age of the group, there will be finger plays, acting out elements of the songs, and other dramatic play geared at relating to the songs.  Classes of older children will involve more direct musical instruction and choreographed movements.

Adult role modeling is essential to class success thus any other adult teachers and mentors are encouraged to participate in each class with the children during Lil’ Folk Music time. Young children learn music much like they learn language; from observation and exposure to it as often as possible.  Lil’ Folk will provide ideas for incorporating the music and experiences into daily classroom life.
