Music Play with Mark Goho This is a TEN WEEK Session beginning Monday,
March 27th, 2017 9:00 - 9:45 AM Admission price includes your child
and one parent or support person for the full 10 week session. Music
Play is a chance for children to experience an abundant and varied
musical environment. Just as we immerse our children in the sounds of
our spoken language from before birth and on, children can benefit
similarly from an immersion in a variety of musical sounds. Music,
similar to language, is sequentially learned through a series of
vocabularies: listening, speaking, thinking, reading, and writing. As
children are exposed to a variety of songs and chants in a variety of
tonalities and meters, they begin to develop these vocabularies. We do
this quite naturally when it comes to language, but musical guidance
is often much less purposeful. In a Music Play class, children will
respond to music in a variety of ways in accordance with where they
are in their musical development. Some children will do absolutely
nothing; they simply absorb. Others will respond randomly or with some
perceived purpose. As children develop they will start to realize how
their responses differ from what is expected and start to become more
self-aware. Throughout the class, children will hear songs and chants
performed and often accompanied by a movement or game. Parents are
encouraged to participate as much as they feel comfortable. Singing,
chanting, and moving along with the teacher is very welcome! SESSION
DATES are as follows: 3/27, 4/3, 4/10, 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, 5/8, 5/15,
5/22, 6/5 Music Play is taught by Mark Goho, BME, M.Ed. Mark Goho has
been teaching music since 2007, starting in public school, and moving
soon after to private and homeschooling groups. Mark received his
certification to teach along with a Bachelor’s of Music
Education from SUNY Fredonia in 2007. With the birth of his first
daughter, Anneliese, Mark became very interested in early childhood
music development. In 2011, Mark began graduate work at the University
at Buffalo. The program at UB specialized in early childhood music
development and instruction and introduced him to the world of Music
Learning Theory, first introduced to the world by Dr. Edwin Gordon in
the early 1970s at UB. Working alongside experts in the field of
learning theory for newborns and young children, Mark’s
interest and passion in the field grew exponentially. In 2013, he
earned his Masters in Education from UB, with a specialization in
early childhood development for children ages birth through five. He
currently teaches music classes for a homeschooling cooperative in
Pittsford and guides his (now) three daughters through the types and
stages of preparatory audiation. We'd love to have you join us!
