9 Reasons to LOVE Take Note Studio This Summer

Summer means the end of school year routines and time to make fun summer plans! From beach days and picnics to ball games and family vacations, there’s so much to love about summer. As you’re making your summer plans, don’t forget to add summer music programs at Take Note Studio to your list! 

Our summer programs offer your children a chance to learn through the arts while enjoying play time with their classmates. Here are 9 reasons to love Take Note Studio this summer!

1. Maintain a Comfortable, Predictable Routine All Summer Long

Having a routine is valuable to you and your children. Children thrive within structure: a routine gives them a sense of security and helps remove the fear of the unknown. And when they feel secure, kids are more free to think, feel, and be creative.

A routine establishes a sense of consistency and gives kids (and parents) something to look forward to. It also offers parents and children opportunities to connect throughout the week. Whether it’s enjoying some reading time together or talking about the fun they had at camp, scheduled events provide a chance for kids and parents to connect with one another. And that connection keeps kids interested in learning.

Maintain a sense of routine this summer by keeping busy with summer programming and camps at Take Note Studio!

2. Keeps the Kids Busy While Teaching Them Valuable Skills

Take Note Studio summer programs are a great way to get you out of the house in the morning to start your day or to keep the kids busy in the afternoon. Our classes can also play a vital role in teaching your children skills that will be helpful in boosting their academic performance, social skills, and wellbeing.

Skills like perseverance, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, time management, teamwork, memory, creativity, and critical thinking will benefit a child’s life long after they leave school. 

Extracurricular programs like this also help kids develop social skills, make new friends, and improve their confidence and self-esteem — essential tools for building positive mental health.

3. Provides an Opportunity for Socialization

During a normal school year, kids get plenty of opportunities to socialize with their peers at school. But with the pandemic, many children have had fewer chances to socialize over the past year. 

Socialization is crucial not only to a child’s happiness, but to their healthy development as well. It helps build skills like impulse control and mental flexibility as well as language and social-emotional skills such as learning to share and follow rules.

Summer programs at Take Note Studio give your kids the opportunity to improve these valuable skills while they socialize with other children and learn through music. 

4. A Child’s Love of Learning, Music, and Quality Time Doesn’t Have an Off Switch

The calendar may say the school year is done, but that doesn’t mean the time for learning is over. Children love learning, and their interest in music and need for quality time doesn’t end with the school calendar. That’s why Take Note Studio is here for you, even in the summer!

Helping children find interests that make them come alive is part of guiding them to a future they can get excited about. Programs like the ones we offer at Take Note Studio give kids an outlet to discover and pursue their passions and motivate them to keep learning. 

5. Offers a Much-Needed Creative Outlet

Creative activities give children an outlet for self-expression. Having a creative outlet is a vital part of building a child’s confidence, reminding them that everyone is different and that their unique skills, interests, and passions are important.

A healthy creative outlet also gives children the tools to set goals for themselves and to bring those goals to fruition. Creativity encourages problem solving and thinking outside the box — crucial skills kids will use for the rest of their lives.

6. Make It a Fun Mommy or Daddy Group Summer Activity!

Gathering with friends is one of the best things about summer — for kids and adults alike. Consider joining a program at Take Note Studio as a group with friends or neighbors. Then after class, enjoy a playdate at the park or some fun and sun at the beach! 

We know it can be difficult to come up with new and exciting activities to keep the kids entertained all summer long, and we’d love to be added to your summer fun list!

7. An Integrated, Creative, Child-Centered Musical Experience You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Classes and summer camps at Take Note Studio offer kids an opportunity to explore their creativity through music. Singing, playing instruments, and dancing help children build motor skills, strengthen language skills, boost confidence, and can even accelerate brain development. 

But in addition to that, and perhaps even more importantly, music and creativity bring joy to a child’s life. What better reason to sign the kids up for a class or two than to give them more joy?

No other activity you choose this summer offers the integrated, creative, child-centered musical experience that Take Note Studio does. Our camps and summer programs offer much more than a traditional summer camp — after all, music impacts every area of development! Your child is certain to grow through the arts this summer with Take Note Studio's emphasis on holistic learning through play.

8. We Miss Your Kids! 

Because of the pandemic, we have missed out on the in-person time we would normally get to spend with your children throughout the school year. Our teachers and staff have missed seeing your kids and would love to spend more time with them to make up for the time we lost this past year. 

We love getting to see your kids throughout the school year and we would love to continue to see their smiling faces all summer long!

9. TWO Locations to Choose From!

And the cherry on top to all of this is that Take Note Studio has TWO locations for you to choose from! Our locations in Manitowoc and Sheboygan each offer a full lineup of classes for your children to enjoy this summer.

The Impacts of Music on the Brain

Image
  Brain Development Sometimes in the fun of our weekly classes, it's easy to forget just how life-changing the benefits of music classes are for young children! One of the most significant benefits is in  how music and musical experiences impact brain development  - how the brain is wiring itself to ultimately forming the architecture of the adult brain. A staggering 90% of a child's brain develops by age 5.  Scientific research has underscored that it is the quality of a child's experiences in these early years that shapes how their brains develop and influences their ability to learn and succeed in school... and in life. "Between the ages of one and five, the brain goes through cycles of growth and streamlining, with experience playing a key role in engraving the circuits that will endure." ( TheirWorld Children's Charity article ) But it's not just future academic success that is affected.  The connections needed for many higher-level abilities like...

Masterful Teaching: Crossing the Midline Activities

  Masterful Teaching: Crossing the Midline Activities What is the midline? Think of the midline as an imaginary line down the middle of our bodies from our heads to between our feet Crossing the midline is important because: When children cross the midline, they are using both sides of their brain to coordinate smooth, controlled, complex movement. ‌ It is important to combine movement patterns that cross the body for daily tasks such as reading, writing, and tying shoelaces. ‌ The ability to cross the midline is necessary for tasks that involve both hands, where they work together to do a job... or for playing the piano or violin, for example. ‌ From  Importance of Crossing the Midline "Crossing the midline plays a part in everything we do! Reading, writing, catching a ball, getting dressed, sitting cross-cross-applesauce, play, self-care...everything!" Level 1 criss-cross exercise: Cross right arm to left leg, left arm to right leg. ‌ Level 1 ball play: Have the babies sit ...

It Can Take A Little Time

Image
  It can take a little time... and that's okay! In Kindermusik, we intentionally build familiar routines and rituals into the class to help your child become comfortable and anticipate what comes next. For example, from the very first day, we will always begin and end class with the same two songs - the Hello Song and the Goodbye Song. This signals to your child that class is starting or ending. On average, children need four to six weeks to transition into a new class - even children who have been in Kindermusik before. For some children, it can take a little longer. We're all about the process and not performance here at Kindermusik, and so we just give them all the love, space, and understanding that they need! As time goes on, your child will learn the routine, become familiar with the songs, and look forward to seeing friends from class (and so will you!). Plus, once they become secure in the routines and rituals, the learning and enjoyment really take off! What you can do...
