INTRODUCING . . .

Arfie's
Music Adventures
featuring
Arfie and Friends
After
fourteen years of experience offering Music Together and Music
for Aardvarks and Other Mammals to families in Brooklyn, ArtsCetera
has created its own homegrown music program. Arfie's Music
Adventures curriculum is based upon what our teaching staff has
seen work best over the years. We all know the value of
introducing music into the lives of our little ones as early as
possible. ArtsCetera's class concept and music have been
developed to expose kids and their accompanying adults to a rich
variety of music that will help keep everyone thoroughly engaged
while learning and having a great time.
Arfie's Music Adventures is no ordinary music program for kids.
Our musical host is Arfie the imaginary dog (who can resist a
cute puppy?) whose job is to give young children an extra something
familiar and cuddly to ease them into their first group experiences.
Each session includes a few songs about Arfie and a lesson that
explains something very important that kids need to know.
The first class CD, for example, features a song that helps kids
understand how to get to know a dog, so they'll feel safe and
stay safe. Although our class CDs and their accompanying
booklets are only available to families who register, we are also
producing music CDs for the general public. You can get
an idea of what Arfie's Music Adventures is all about by clicking
here to listen to Sing, Shout
and Clap!, a CD that anyone can buy, or here
to learn more about How to Meet a Dog, our first class
CD.
What
is ArtsCetera?
ArtsCetera
is a family-oriented arts organization serving the neighborhoods
of Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill
and Park Slope in Brooklyn, New York. ArtsCetera director
Nanette De Cillis introduced Music Together® to Brooklyn in
1993. As her music classes for infants and toddlers grew
in popularity, and with the dream of creating a multi-use space
dedicated to arts activities, ArtsCetera was born in 1998. In
addition to its music and art classes for children, ArtsCetera
has become distinguished as an alternative space to view contemporary
art and continues to expand its roster of performances and other
arts-related events. ArtsCetera takes pride in building
relationships in the community to support positive child development
and create new opportunities for children, adults and families.
ArtsCetera
Programs
ArtsCetera
offers a variety of music and art classes for children from birth
to 6 years old at its Smith Street studio, and at "satellite"
locations in the area. The mainstays of ArtsCetera's music
and art classes for children are Arfie's Music Adventures featuring
Arfie and Friends and Music for Aardvarks
and Other Mammals, with an ever growing schedule of art,
art playgroup and other classes.
Many ArtsCetera families begin with a music class
and move on to sample the art classes and other ArtsCetera
offerings. The links at the top of the page will take you to information
about ArtsCetera's music and art classes for children, their times,
instructors and locations.
