New at The Music Connection! Free Preschool Music Classes Starting Sept. 4, 2012
Pre-schoolers just love music! They love to sing, dance, play instruments and read stories. While they are doing these activities that they think are just about fun, wise parents, grandparents, and music educators know that these activities do so much more: they promote the child's natural sense of curiosity which promotes lifelong learning, instill a love of music and fun through musical activities, and provide the child with the skills such as keeping a steady beat and pitch development.

Like minded parents and grandparents also enjoy meeting other people who are all about discovering ways for their young children to interact musically and socially with their community.

That is what the Music in the Box curriculum and The Music Connection are all about.
Director Janet Kuester explains, "The Music in the Box curriculum was designed by two Montessori moms who were also educators and Suzuki piano student parents. They realized that it is never too early to begin the exciting adventure of making music."
"I am so grateful to the residents of Orland Park and its neighboring communities, because The Music Connection of Orland Park has grown so much in the 8 years we have been in here." Kuester continued," I would like to give some of our community’s youngest children the gift of beginning early childhood music education."
In the first six September classes we will be using the curriculum: "Dinosaurs Went Marching". "The children just love all the dinosaur stories and songs," said teacher Gretel Mink Hansen.
The classes will be on-going Tuesdays from 9:30AM-10AM beginning Tuesday September 4, 2012. Ideal ages are 0 to 5 years old. Parent or caregiver must attend with the child.
The Music Connection of Orland Park is located at 10751 165th Street, Orland Park, Illinois, 60467. Registration/Material fee is $5 per month per family. Register online today. For further information and to register for the free class, go to www.theconnection2music.com or call 708-364-7590.
