Music Enrichment - not music entertainment!

How a child learns in class each week?

• Songs and rhymes develop phonemic awareness and early reading skills
• Tapping, clacking, and ringing rhythm instruments in time with music improves hand-eye coordination
• Focused listening activities with music improves skills to follow directions
• Instrument play with rhythm sticks and egg shaers strengthens fine motor skills
• Developmentally-appropriate songs develop vocal chords and expressive speech
• Activities emphasize storytelling, imaginative play, and turn taking
• One 30 minute lesson a week
• Up to 12 children in a class
• Four weekly classes explore a new theme each month to offer deeper learning opportunities in each week
• Movement and musical experiences to enhance overall learning
