MUSIC GROWTIME
Give Your Young Child The "Gift of Music" for a lifetime!
Music Growtime is for For Children 4 to 6 years
Music is a form of "language" and is best nurtured in the "language learning years" (birth to age seven). The foundations laid in early childhood will give a strong basis for musical growth and expression throughout life. We emphasize a positive, accepting atmosphere and uses "play-centered" instruction that is developmentally appropriate and utilizes important early music learning research. Music Growtime gives the opportunity for each child to grow in musical potential and skills through creative exploration and playful guidance, in a context of love and the Joy of Music!

What is Music Growtime?
Classes Include:
Your Music Growtime Teacher/Coach is Ruth King Goddard M.A. Ruth King Goddard, founder and owner of Joy of Music Co., has been building musical skills in both non-musicians and musicians for almost forty years. She is known by her enthusiastic, patient ability to make difficult concepts easy to grasp, in the context of fun and acceptance.
Ruth has taught music in public, private, and home-schools, from pre-school through college level, tone deaf to professional. She has a private studio where she teaches children and adults voice, piano and various instruments. She also teaches various group classes for newborns (and parents) to adults.
Based on her experience with “non-singers,” Ruth has developed an early childhood music curriculum that is being prepared for publication. She is also an award-winning singer/songwriter, having produced two albums of her original songs.
Ruth has been studying the groundbreaking Gordon Music Learning Theory with the original researchers. This research is demonstrating how children actually grow in musical skills, and is giving tremendous tools for musical growth for all ages.
