Where Music Begins

The Tuneables is an award-winning children’s music educational DVD and CD series designed to teach the ABC’s of music at a critical time in a child’s development. Fun, interactive, and engaging, children will watch over and over while building a solid foundation of music learning. Sponsored by the Music Intelligence Project. Ages 3-8. See Reviews.

THE TUNEABLES: “I Love Music!” is a 30-minute, animated, interactive DVD which is the first in a series designed to teach children ages 3-8 music fundamentals. Through the imaginative world of Tuneville, fun characters encourage children to participate in songs and activities that provide rhythm, tonal, and voice development in a carefully sequenced approach.

THE MUSIC BOX: “I Love Music!” is a compilation of original songs, classic children’s music and important music masterworks. It is designed to encourage the exposure and reinforcement of key principles in early music learning for children ages 3-6. This CD also serves as a wonderful companion to THE TUNEABLES DVD, “I Love Music!”, which reinforces the curriculum with additional new songs and expanded versions of several songs found in the DVD.

My first thought when I turned on this movie, is “oh I hope she’ll enjoy this as much as I do”. I love music. Growing up I played different instruments here and there, but singing has always been my musical instrument of choice. After finishing the DVD, my main thought was “I hope and pray there will be more in this series!” The Tuneables is fabulous and truly unlike any music education DVD/CD project I’ve experienced so far and it is a great idea. The animation characters are cute and my two year old daughter is very excited about them. She is always asking for music and rhythm in her DVDs whenever we decide to turn something on.

I am very excited about this series, because not only does it provide a baseline for education on tonal value, the beat in music, and interactive range expansion – but it has activity. I mean, get up and move! March your feet! Pat your knees – move and learn. Using the song Pat Pat Pat Your Knees, there is some anatomy and fun. Then also things like Sweep the Street after the parade – clean up after fun! I’m enamored with this, even the Enginerd likes it. 🙂 I highly recommend this DVD and CD set and I really do hope there will be more to come.

Just as a mother to a toddler, I’m very enthusiastic about watching this movie over and over again and listening to the CD here there and everywhere. But as a homeschooling mother I truly believe this is a great and fun way to teaching the fundamentals of music.

The Music Intelligence Project (MIP) has evolved from the careers of music educators dedicated to understanding that music learning is beneficial to young children and is most effective when begun at an early age. Their ideas and experiences form the groundwork to bring together a group of musicians, educators, researchers, and creative professionals to support the design and development of the best available products for educating preschool children in music. These products are grounded in years of teaching experience, proven techniques and materials, and insights gained from research on music teaching and learning and from recent advances in the understanding of brain development as a function of music learning.

The underlying philosophy of MIP is to engage children in an active learning experience that is carefully sequenced to provide age appropriate challenges.  MIP focuses on four core segments of music learning:

 

  • Understanding tonal and rhythm patterns in music
  • Developing the singing voice 
  • Acquiring listening skills
  • Learning a basic repertoire of music

Our carefully designed approach translates into quick and effective learning thereby providing for long-term musical and intellectual growth.

MIP products are designed for use in the home or classroom through  CD’s, DVD’s and interactive computer experiences.  They engage children in fun and exciting music activities that guide them through carefully sequenced musical skills and concepts.  MIP also recognizes the role of adults in the success of children’s learning.   We offer tips, guidelines, and other forms of support to parents and teachers that will enhance the child’s overall experience.
