Music for Tots™
A Ten Week Music Program for Tots Ages 0-5
The Music For Tots™ program is designed to help improve not only the tonal, listening, coordination and rhythmic skills of the children, but also their verbal and socialization skills, as well as their ability to follow directions, focus attention and share with their peers.
What is it?
Tots from birth to age five are enrolled in a ten-week program each semester, fall and spring. Typically about 300 children and their parents are enrolled in the more than 40+ classes taught by ten to twelve teachers, including Sr. Lorna Zemke, Director of the program. Each class is limited to eight children of the same age. Classes are held at Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Sheboygan, St. Philip School in Green Bay, and Salem Grade School in Salem.
Who can enroll and how long are the classes?
Music for Tots™ classes are scheduled during the morning and late afternoon/early evening hours. There are half-hour classes for children from infancy to three years of age, and 40-minute classes for older threes, fours and fives. Parents participate with their children in classes for infants and toddlers. In the transition age of three, the children become more independent, and in classes of three and a half to five year olds, the preschoolers participate in songs, rhythm games and activities independently, with parents present but not actively involved.
How can we enroll?
Parents interested in enrolling their very young children in the Music for Tots™ Program should contact the college's music department by using the form below.
This information, along with your date of inquiry, will be put on a waiting list and you will be contacted by phone in January for spring scheduling or August for fall classes. Class sessions begin at the end of September and again in mid February. Classes are scheduled according to the child's age, teachers' schedules, and parents' schedules. CONTACT US TODAY!
