Music Lingua
is a unique method of introducing foreign language to
young children, at the critical time when they are most capable of
learning a second language (see "Why
Study Language"). Over six years of development, research and
practice have resulted in an effective, fun way to introduce children to
both language and music. |
Music Lingua classes use music, movement, storytelling, drama and art to present thematic concepts and key vocabulary.
The emphasis is on hearing the spoken language, learning the songs, and in the process, learning target vocabulary and responding to commands. Students receive a thematic CD of the songs sung in class, along with a bi-lingual music/activity booklet. Parents are encouraged to play the music and sing the songs often with their child
at home and while riding in the car, thus reinforcing what is learned in class. |
|
Just as important, it’s fun for everyone involved, and
the parent-child classes give parents the wonderful experience of
learning along with their child. |
 |
Each student receives a music CD and activity booklet to
take home. The booklets contain all of the lyrics in both the
target language and English, as well as pictures to color and other fun
activities that go along with each song. We strongly encourage the
child to listen to the CD as much as possible
The samples here show the booklets and music CDs in French, German and
Spanish, for the Life on the Farm, the Life at Home, and the Life on the
Ocean units. |
