Welcome to Clapping Land’s Classes homepage.
Winter and Spring 2009 programs are now open for registration. Baby classes
begin during the third week of January, while
toddlers and pre-schoolers start up
January 17th.
For her ninth straight year, Sophia Grigoriadis will be offering
an engaging and stimulating balance of Kindermusik and world music
sessions to baby, toddler and preschooler age groups in the
Pape/Danforth neighbourhood.
Kindermusik® Village™, for children newborn to 1½
years of age, incorporates the most current research on early
childhood development and provides families a special place for
learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music
and movement. High quality, professionally created class and At Home
materials are based on current research that educate parents about
their babies' unique development.
Sound Adventures, for
children 18 months to 3½ years is a new program developed by
Sophia that focuses on songs, instruments and rhythms from different
cultures. Toddlers will love the range of dance and movement
activities, drumming games and call and response songs that expand
upon their growing language, physical, cognitive and social abilities,
while connecting them to their community at large and the world
beyond.
Sound Explorers,
for children 3½ to 5 years, also designed by Sophia
Grigoriadis, gives the inquisitive preschooler the opportunity to
learn many singing and movement games from different cultures.
Creative movement to improvised soundscapes, structured dances,
ensemble work using both percussion and voice, and stories from
different cultures are all featured in this fun session.
