Music & Play

This hands-on class is a fun, interactive way to introduce music and its relationship to the body. Kids use hand-held percussion instruments to play their way through fundamentals like melody, rhythm, musical form, and ensemble collaboration. Songs, movement, and musical stories help little ones become aware of pitch, repetition, and measured time.
