Music Pups®

Designed to nurture the musical development of young children by motivating parents and caregivers to engage in musical activities with their child. Through teacher modeling, play, parent education, our acclaimed CDs, and the joy of our classes, Music Pups® provides a catalyst for parents to create a stimulating musical environment for their child.

Sunrise

Sunrise is an exciting and innovative pre-school music program for children three years old.  Children receive instruction in singing, rhythm, and ear training with teddy bears being one of the learning "tools".  This specially developed music curriculum includes stories, songs and games.

Sunshine

This program, for four year old beginners, includes large muscle experiences in beat and rhythms as well as fine motor experiences in rhythm instrument ensemble playing. By the end of the first year, Sunshines are playing in C major and middle C positions and are reading from the staff. Pre-reading experiences – such as like and different sorting, looking for patterns with colorful visual aids, gluing and coloring -- are part of the program.

Sunbeam

This program for kindergartners and first graders provides “big kid” lyrics to introduce concepts, finger numbers and keyboard geography. Songs and games are used to encourage and reinforce listening.

Moonbeam

For the older beginner, ages seven through ten, the program lasts three years. Our Moonbeams want “quick results” and the songs, ensembles and keyboard repertoire are designed to support their growing sense of independence. The listening activities for this age group keep the “ears open” even as reading becomes the primary focus for gathering information.

Students at the final level, Moonbeams Three, are thoroughly prepared for Grade One Conservatory examinations and have, in many cases, been awarded the Conservatory Silver Medal, the highest mark provincially, for Grade One Piano.

Even more important, the MYC graduates (and parents) are very highly motivated for further study in music and private teachers have found many of the students so well prepared for private lessons that they have accelerated them through Conservatory Grades Two and Three in one year!
