Our industry-leading TMC Big Kids® classes are one of your child’s first steps in music education!

Our TMC Big Kids® classes have been another sought-after music class for our youngest students and their families!

For students aged 4-5, TMC Big Kids classes build on the skills learned in TMC, feature the same spirited and fun environment, and include more challenging activities – specially designed to capitalize on the ability and creativity of our ‘big kids’. Also like the entry level TMC class, each class is PARENTED, 45-minutes long, and materials provided include a digital download of the current TMC materials PLUS an additional TMC Big Kids digital download of the ‘practice music’.

We strongly encourage students interested in taking our Keyboard Adventures: the Safari classes, to take TMC Big Kids first to better prepare them. The goals of TMC Big Kids are:

  • Improved pitch and rhythm skills. In addition to TMC popular class style – singing and movement activities – TMC Big Kids also includes more formal individualized tonal and rhythm instruction each week to challenge each student at their own level.
  • Development of critical listening skills, such as the ability to identify when notes are correct or incorrect when listening to familiar songs.
  • Learning about instruments. In TMC Big Kids, the students are introduced to band and orchestra instruments, and practice identifying the sounds they produce. This is a great springboard for those interested in wind instruments and our new My First Instrument classes.
  • A student’s first keyboard experience. Fun keyboarding activities help prepare our students for future piano lessons should they choose that instrument to continue their musical growth on.
  • Development of creative listening skills. When listening to instrumental music, students are asked to use their imagination to create a picture in their mind of what the music makes them think of. These ideas are then developed into movement and story.
