Qu'est-ce que Smart Start ?
Smart Start est un programme musical pour la petite enfance développé par le RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) à Toronto.
Fondé sur la recherche neuroscientifique dès sa conception, Smart Start a été développé avec le double objectif d'améliorer les compétences musicales et les compétences cognitives des enfants de 0 à 6 ans.
Le programme Smart Start est donc conçu pour mettre l'accent sur les types de travail cognitif qui se produisent naturellement pendant la pratique de la musique : l'attention, la mémoire, la perception et la flexibilité cognitive.
Chaque activité du programme Smart Start aborde une ou plusieurs de ces compétences cognitives parallèlement à ses objectifs musicaux ( temps, rythme, justesse, tempo, dynamique, écoute, chant, mouvement, engagement).

Children are naturally curious about music from a very early age, and the positive atmosphere of this class helps foster lifelong connections with music, builds strong parent-child emotional bonds, and provides a weekly forum for social interaction. The goal of this course is to expose you and your child to the basic concepts of music through sensory awareness and self-creation, with particular attention paid to beat, rhythm, and listening skills.
Infants are just beginning to explore the world around them, and that includes their musical world. Even before they are born, children can hear music all around them, and our classes start from the very beginning. In this class, you and your child will start to learn about the fundamentals of music through movement, singing, and play. The course is designed to foster basic cognitive skills through a musical framework, and to help parents and caregivers learn ways to interact with the child through music. A typical class begins with a greeting song, followed by gentle bouncing games, finger plays, movement, and many songs. The class concludes with lullabies or other songs for all to enjoy.
A parent or guardian accompanies their child for each class for the full session.

This class focuses on developing gross motor function in toddlers by encouraging them to move their bodies in time to sounds and music.
At age 2, children are beginning to develop more complex cognitive skills that will aid them later in life. These classes focus on cognitive skills relevant to music, such as sustaining attention, remembering songs, and recognizing perceptual cues. Children in these classes will learn how to apply these skills towards musical exploration, and gain greater musical independence through basic musical skills. At this age, parents or caregivers assist their child's musical creativity and gain further skills for musical interaction with their child.
With an emphasis on the fundamentals of listening and singing, playing simple instruments like maracas and drums, and taking turns, this course helps develop music competence and fosters confidence, belonging, and security among its weekly attendees.

In this class, children learn foundational musical skills such as tempo, meter, pitch, and volume together through educational, movement-based games and multi arts activities.
By age 3, children are beginning to develop their singing voices, and as such, singing a wide range of songs is a vital component of the Smart Start curriculum. By age 3, children's basic cognitive skills are in place. Smart Start is designed to work with these cognitive skills through activities such as recognizing musical patterns, focusing on the most important aspects of music, and understanding connections across artistic representations. Children work in musical and artistic collaborations designed to foster basic musical knowledge and spur on individual and group creativity.
Socialization and personal growth are strengthened via group engagement. Many children are ready for an independent music class without their care provider at age three. Generally, we recommend a parent or caregiver attend for the first few classes, until the child is ready to attend class independently. This decision is individual and flexible.
