【Program Overview】
Considering the concentration span of infants and toddlers, the program was designed as a 45-minute experience stimulating sight, hearing, and touch. We incorporated elements such as instrument introductions and ensemble segments by professional musicians, powerful performances by a brass quintet, and hand-clapping songs, ensuring a fun time for both parents and children.
Furthermore, by synchronizing the readings by announcers and a singing sister with the picture book pages displayed on a large screen, attendees could experience the world of stories and music in real-time.
