Overview
In this fun five week class, students will learn to develop music appreciation while improving their musical ear, early music literacy, motor skills, and cognitive function through musical play. Each week students will explore various instruments such as percussion, piano, strings, and recorder through activities and songs.
This music program is an excellent starter course before joining our Piano Discoveries or Violin Beginnings classes that enroll during the Fall semester.Returning students are welcome! New songs and material will be introduced each session.
Optional course material is a Nuvo recorder+. There is a sanitized classroom supply of recorders that will be assigned to each student and only used by that student for the six weeks, but you may purchase your own.
