We believe music should be a part of every child's life - every day. Children regularly join together for instructive singalongs which introduce different musical concepts, traditions, and instruments. Music is intentionally associated with a sense of joy and community as they learn to make music individually and as a group. Classroom teachers further this development by incorporating song, auditory learning, listening experiences, and musical transitions to immerse children in this language. We are inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia, the research of Edwin Gordon, the writings of Susan Young, the traditional music of North America, a choice selection of modern music, and the music made within our community. When a child engages in the language of sound and music, they become better listeners and learners. Music strengthens auditory learning while acting as a conduit to other cultures, languages, and perspectives.
We are excited that Casa Feliz, a Bilingual Arts Education company works with our classrooms to provide a Spanish music program that works to uplift and disseminate the unparalleled contributions of the Hispanic Caribbean, Latin American, and Spanish cultures through a global perspective. They provide a unique learning experience to stimulate the intellectual and socio-emotional development of children of all backgrounds.
