Music Play with Mark Goho This is a TEN WEEK Session beginning
Wednesday, March 29th, 2017 6:00 - 6:45 PM 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: 3/29, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19,
4/26, 5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/24, 5/31 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!
