Launching "Music for Young Kids"

Dear Teachers and Parents,

Proudly presents: the launching of our new programme: "Music for Young Kids" software package!!

Similar to our Pre-YMC "Music, Movement & Me", the content of "Music for Young Kids" is organised into 10 chapters for teachers, making it easy to teach. Example of chapters are: High and Low Sound, Fast and Slow, Legato and Staccato, Animals Sounds and lots more. Each chapter incudes Songs, Activities, Fingerplays, Chants and Storytelling.

The package consists of:

1) Teachers' Guidebook (Ebook)
2) Teachers' CD
3) Bonus CD
4) Students' Worksheet
5) Students' CD

It is a great programme to nurture music interest for a young child, before proceeding to instrumental learning. We especially encourage Kindergartens and Day Care Centres to implement this programme into their curriculum or extra activities. This is a 2-year course for children ages 4 to 6 years. To teach, music background is not required and therefore, there are always availability of teachers to conduct the classes.

Once purchased the package, teachers and parents can read the ebook from home whenever convenient. Most activities are with Chinese Translation with different cultures of songs available.

Training is available for teachers. MYK training dates are 7th and 8th of December, 9am to 5pm, 2 days and it is RM180.00 only for each teacher.

"Music for Young Kids" software package is a great tool for teachers who would like to expand their teaching expertise. Each software package is RM290.00 only, great value for great music educational resources.
