Welcome Janet's Music School
Hello! My name is Janet Zinger and I have been teaching music in St. Albert for about 25 years!
I have been teaching Music for Young Children for eleven years and my goal is to inspire children's musical interest and work with them to build solid musical foundations. Whether a child pursues further musical studies or simply has wonderful memories of music class ... my desire is that they will love music for their lifetime!
Our Classes
Music for Young Children is the only child-centered music-learning system that integrates keyboard, creative movement, rhythm, singing, ear training, sight reading, music theory and composition. We offer so much more than traditional piano lessons.
Now Taking Registrations
Sunshine 1 - for children who are 4 yrs old
This program, includes large muscle experiences in beat and rhythms as well as fine motor experiences in rhythm instrument ensemble playing. By the end of the first year, Sunshines are playing in C major and middle C positions and are reading from the staff. Pre-reading experiences – such as like and different sorting, looking for patterns with colorful visual aids, gluing and coloring -- are part of the program.
Sunbeam 1 - for children who are 5 or 6
The program for kindergartners and first graders provides “big kid” lyrics to introduce concepts, finger numbers and keyboard geography. Songs and games are used to encourage and reinforce listening.
For the older beginner, ages seven through ten, the program lasts three years. Our Moonbeams want “quick results” and the songs, ensembles and keyboard repertoire are designed to support their growing sense of independence. The listening activities for this age group keep the “ears open” even as reading becomes the primary focus for gathering information.
Moonbeams 1 - for children who are 7 to 10
