Summary

Musical training, especially at a young age, has an amazing impact on cognitive development, motor skills, social skills, and creativity. Music connects many different subjects in a fun way that children love. The music program consists of core songs as well as topics of the day. These songs cover different aspects of music fundamentals: including the musical clefs, the staff, note lengths, rests, and more. This gives the students a great foundation in musical training and teaches them about steady beat and melody. They will learn about different instruments and different styles of music from around the world.
