Music Classes for Kids Ages 5–7 Now Offered in Grosse Pointe

GROSSE POINTE, MI – August 28, 2013 – Hummingbirds Music Together, in partnership with Grosse Pointe Music Academy, is excited to announce a new music and movement class for children ages 5–7: Music Together Big Kids®. This fun and educational program is now available to families in Grosse Pointe and nearby areas.

About Big Kids Classes

The Big Kids program helps children build basic music skills in a fun, relaxed setting. It’s perfect for kids who are ready for more than early childhood music classes but aren’t quite ready for formal music lessons. This class supports music learning at school and helps prepare children for playing instruments in the future.

“We designed this class for kids who are ready to move beyond simply enjoying music to actually learning how music works,” said Sarah Boyd, director of Hummingbirds Music Together.

What Kids Will Learn

In Big Kids classes, children will:

• Sing in harmony
• Play simple instruments and drums
• Learn music terms and concepts (like solfège)
• Try fun activities like folk dances, conducting, and improvising
• Play musical games and tell story songs

Parents will receive:

• A Big Kids songbook and CD
• Solfège cards
• At-home activity ideas to keep the music going all week

Parents are welcome to stay for class, but it’s not required.
