Looking for that perfect gift for someone who seems to have no time to go out with their darling wee one because they're chained to the house, the weather's too terrible, because there are guests coming for the holidays, because there just are NOT enough hours in the day? I recently received an email from Mary Ellen Pinzino, the Director of the Come Children, Sing Institute, which is offering online music classes for infants, babies, toddlers, and children with special needs. This will help to provide quality parent-child time AND music learning these delightful children, while in your own home, which, in this delightful Chicago weather is a HUGE bonus.
Below is the information about the program and all of the contact information. I encourage everyone with a child to contact the Come Children, Sing Institute for further information and gift certificates for their classes.
Come
Children, Sing! Launches Online Music Classes for Infants, Babies and Toddlers
The
Come Children Sing Institute announces the debut of Come Children, Sing! Online
Music Classes for infants, babies and toddlers. Parents can now engage
with their little ones in music classes online, in their own homes and on their
own schedules, whatever their musical background. MP3 files, music activities,
and parent tips are all provided online, with tailored blogs and podcasts to
inform parents about their child’s music development. Parents can further
make Come Children, Sing! portable with an iPod or CD.
Come
Children, Sing! is a developmental music program that makes learning music as
natural as learning language. Babies across the country are thriving musically
on Come Children, Sing!, surprising parents with their focused attention to
rhythm and tonal activities, play songs and art songs written for the young
child’s music development. Parents are discovering the power of Come
Children, Sing! with their little ones and the joy of making music part of
everyday life. Many find the music development activities helpful in filling
the long days with their little ones and in comforting a fussy baby.
Stay-at-home moms, stay-at-home dads, working moms, and working dads all
appreciate the convenience of computer “laptop activities” that provide
for quality time with their young children. Parents are learning to parent
music, tailoring activities to meet their family’s lifestyle and their
child’s temperament. Gone are the days of having to cart baby, diaper
bag, stroller, and toddler to a live class in inclement weather, during
naptime, fussy times, or on weekends, or miss classes for illness or travel.
Distance learning has now reached the youngest of children, with all the
benefits of online education.
Mary
Ellen Pinzino, founder/director of the Come Children Sing Institute, says,
“Come Children, Sing! engages parent and child together in the wonder of
the young child’s music development, nurturing parent-child interaction
as well as music learning. It guides parents in the process of their
child’s music learning during the most important time in life for music
development.”
Come
Children, Sing! is based on more than twenty years of research at the Come
Children Sing Institute, a center for research and development in music
learning. The online program has been in development with children for
over two years. The Come Children Sing Institute pioneered live music classes
for little children and parents more than twenty years ago, and is now
leveraging technology to reach many more children in the home environment,
guiding and celebrating the young child’s music development and coaching
parents in the process. Each Come Children, Sing! Online Music Class offers one
new lesson each week for ten weeks, with successive classes providing for music
instruction throughout early childhood. Gift certificates to Come Children,
Sing! offer educational gifts for new babies, holidays, birthdays, and baby
showers, without the risk of lead paint or videos for babies.
