21 Day Principal – one topic for 3 weeks
At Jump into Music, our goal is to offer you engaging, entertaining and educational programming that stimulates both the parent and the child attending. We follow the 3 week principal allowing for passive learning of the material. Simply come to class, have fun, and by week three, the material becomes a part of our subconscious. This is the same for adult brains as it is for our little ones. By week three we are all fully engage with the material, experts at the topic at hand. Even our youngest learners are able to relax into the material and participate, even anticipate what will happen next – a core skill of musicianship.
