About
Music with James is a high-energy class where James plays a mixture of traditional children's songs, Broadway, popular and classical music on the guitar, piano, harmonica, and various orchestral instruments. The children sing along, dance, and play instruments with each song – shaking bells and maracas, tapping tambourines, drums, castanets and xylophones. Animal puppets, bouncing balls and a colorful parachute add to the fun.
James highlights a different orchestral instrument (wind, string or brass) in each class, such as the trumpet, French horn, violin, flute, clarinet, recorder and accordion. After 45 minutes of music, the children rush over to the healthy-snack table, then grab a toy for 45 minutes playtime while parents and caregivers catch up with friends.
