Music 

Each classroom engages in a 30-minute musical session weekly.  Children learn musical vocabulary and concepts such as Rhythm, Pitch, Harmony, and Dynamics: including loud and soft or short and long notes.   Children experience genres of music that are culturally diverse from all over the world.  Creative movement games and playing a variety of instruments are a regular part of the fun.  In addition to the joy sharing music itself brings, research states that early musical experiences build neural connections in the brain that help children succeed in reading and math, have better focus, increased control over their bodies, play better with others and have a high self-esteem. Whole School Participation October to June.
