New! November 2007 - Kindermusik Sign & Sing

The Half Notes are excited to bring you a new class option, Kindermusik Sign & Sing, a sign language class for hearing children ages 6 months to 3 years of age.

Through songs, toys, and loving playtime between you and your child, Kindermusik Sign & Sing shows you more than 50 signs your child can use to communicate with you. Using research-proven methods shown to speed language development in hearing children, you'll see how sign language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for your child.

Learn when you play. You'll never have to memorize a list of signs. This curriculum gives you the ASL signs that are most useful to you, and most interesting to your child. So playtime and everyday items around the house—ball, bubbles, mom and dad—become the objects of learning in the classroom, and sign language becomes a natural, happy part of your child's day.

We'll use American Sign Language (ASL) signs in familiar songs and finger plays and play time, improving your child's language skills, fine motor skills, and strengthen fingers for zipping zippers and using scissors.
