The Music for Young
Children (MYC) program consists of small group classes of children
3 years-old and above. Classes are grouped into age category, and the
lessons are once a week for an hour, accompanied by an adult (parent,
grandparent, or caregiver) who participates in the program. Children
typically remain in the program from three to five years, depending on
the age of the child, and each year typically consisting of 36
lessons. The curriculum for each level is carefully geared and paced to
the abilities and learning styles for that particular age. The concepts
and skills that are covered in each week’s lessons are provided by
certified MYC teachers who, with many aids, create their own lesson
plans.

For children ages 0-5 years, this
program is based on the Kodaly method focusing on
sol-fa, listening, music literacy, in-tune singing,
beat, rhythm, movement, musical games and activities
which help your child develop a positive attitude to
music and build a solid foundation for your child's
ongoing musical education. DO-RE-MI classes are grouped
into age-appropriate classes, and each class lasts 30
minutes.

Meet our
Teacher: Trish Zamora Trish Zamora has
been teaching music for 30 years. After graduating from
UW - Madison with a Bachelor of Music Education degree,
she accepted a teaching position in Australia and stayed
there for 30 years, teaching band and classroom music
for many of those years. She wrote the Instrumental
Music Curriculum documents for the State of Queensland,
organized State wide music festivals, and acted as an
advisory teacher and mentor to other music teachers.
When her own children got involved in Kodaly based music
classes, she was so impressed with the skills that
children could achieve at such as early age, that she
retrained as an early childhood music specialist gaining
the Kodaly Certification and she has been teaching
children from birth to 15 ever since! She also taught at
Griffith University's Young Conservatorium in South
Brisbane, lectured at Australian Catholic University,
instructing elementary education students in how to
teach music in their classrooms as well as run her own
home studio in piano and early childhood music. She and
her family moved back to Wisconsin five years ago. She
worked on the faculty of the Wisconsin Conservatory of
Music for several years and now spends most of her time
in her home studio teaching piano and early childhood
music classes. She is certified MYC piano teacher.
