TURTLE TUNES
Turtle Tunes is a joyful time for children to listen to sounds, explore instruments, participate in instrument ensembles and engage in singing games and dances. Instruments will be used in class for exploration, steady beat and improvisation. Songs and music from varied sources, both traditional and contemporary, will be used in class. Children will make their own rhythm instruments from time to time so that they can enjoy making their own music at home! Music instruction is a wonderful way to encourage children's large and small motor skills, their listening and patterning skills, creativity and social interaction. The cost for this professional music instruction is $15 per class - only $10.00/hour!.

Instructor: Allison Ashley has been an early childhood music educator for 20 years and is currently a multi-age teacher at Covenant. Jackie Jung will also assist in this class.
