WCCC music classes offer children an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of music through fun movement-based curriculum.  Using songs, movement scores, rhythm games, instruments and improvisational structures, children gain skills to create and respond to music.  While participating in imagination engaging activities, children develop an understanding of pitch, melody, rhythm, tempo, meter, audiation (inner hearing), and phrasing. WCCC music classes are a joyful way for children to grasp the primary concepts inherent in music while discovering their own unique musical expression.

Jana Vitols is an early childhood music educator who has taught in the Seattle area since 1998.  She has worked as an educator with infants, children and youth in a variety of settings including elementary and pre-schools, conservatories, housing shelters, family resource centers and at children’s birthday parties.  Jana accompanies her classes using banjo, guitar, and violin.  Her classes draw upon classical, folk, world and improvisational music and dance traditions.  Jana received her B.A. in Dance/Movement Therapy from the Naropa University and is strongly influenced by her training in Dalcroze/Eurythmics, a pedagogical approach that aligns music with movement.

The schedule for music classes will be posted on the Parent Information board.
