Busy young families can make music a relaxing, fun part of their lifestyles with toddler music programs at the Creative Arts Center, 211 Water St. in Bluffton as instructor Cindy Lemmen, MS, offers “Jungle Jazz,” 10 weekly toddler times on Mondays from Sept. 15 through Nov. 8, from 10 to 10:45 a.m.
The young participants and their adult friend (Mom, Dad, grandparent or caregiver) will learn about musical sound imitation, rhythm, social skills and listening skills as they are encouraged to explore the jungle with singing, movement, rhythm instruments, guitar, rhyming stories, puppets and even craft ideas to make at home together. The curriculum is based on the award winning music educator Lynn Kleiner’s “Jungle Beat.”
