LITTLE VOICE, BIG NOISE!
A colorful, magical, playful music class full of song and dance
8-Week Session | Begins Sunday, September 27 (No class Nov 8 - Diwali)
Welcome to a music room that is colorful, magical, playful, and completely full of song and dance! Children will sing rich folk songs, explore musical stories to spur imagination, and play captivating musical games. This is a multi-tiered, deeply creative space designed for students to build confidence, express themselves, and find their unique musical voice. This class will also feature special musical guests and instrument demos from friends who play wild and crazy instruments!
Because music is physical in nature and felt deeply in our bodies, creative physical movements are woven into every single activity. This keeps students engaged and excited while naturally internalizing foundational literacy concepts like pitch, song structure, beat, and rhythm.
