Kindergarten


 * KINDERGARTEN**


 * Kindergarten music is the most exciting course going! Why? Because the themes and subject areas explored will be reinforced through song and dance each week in music class. Musical elements such as melody, rhythm, dynamics, timbre and texture will be infuse themselves in our studies of school, seasons, dinosaurs, the ocean, the garden and all the exciting areas of the kindergarten curriculum. Students will begin to learn basic techniques in singing**
