The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir offers First Steps in Music classes to children ages 0 to 5 years old. Through activities based on the First Steps in Music curriculum by John Feierabend, children and their parents/caregiver experience singing, creative movement, simple instruments, finger-plays and more with the help of the rich collection of traditional songs and rhymes from past generations. The goal of First Steps in Music is to enable all participants to reach their full potential in singing, vocabulary, and movement skills, with an emphasis on developing sensitivity to the expressive qualities in music. Each class is designed to be playful and enjoyable to children, while providing a carefully planned curriculum that includes developmentally appropriate activities. Children are not taught formally about the specifics of music, but rather they play with music through a series of eight to twelve well-rounded activities based on the First Steps in Music curriculum.

First Steps in Music classes at these library locations have been generously sponsored by Allen County Public Libraries.
