Week Overview
Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together.
Academic achievement isn’t the only benefit of music education and exposure. In addition to the developmental benefits, simply put: music bring us joy. As a result, it is important for your child to take part in musical activities each week to help with their mental health and well-being.
