Level 2 focuses on your child's healthy emotional development as their confidence, curiosity, self-control, and communication begin to grow. Instrument exploration nurtures their self-esteem and facilitates their discovery of textures and sounds. Language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, rhyming, finger games and object identification. Creative dancing to different musical “moods” develops their sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness, while affirming their urge to move. The anticipation and rewards of focused listening are introduced, and with turn-taking activities, social skills begin to blossom. Level 2 provides the framework for meaningful interaction between parent or caregiver and child. The activities encourage children to experiment while your active participation will give them the security they need.
