Description:

Did you know that studying music results in enhanced language capabilities, improved memory, more powerful study habits, and heightened mental processing & problem-solving skills?  

Music Workshop is a three-part sequential program that teaches the fundamentals of music in a fun and engaging manner.  We will be introducing students to music theory, great composers, and musical instruments through age appropriate songs, dance, games, and playing instruments. It is aligned to state and national standards for each age and grade level.  In each level, concepts previously taught will be reviewed while new concepts are being introduced.  Each level contains two years’ worth of material, so students joining the class for a second year will have all new material to learn.   

Music Workshop B is the second in this series. Through this class, students will be developing their listening ear, reading rhythm and melodic patterns, being introduced to the instruments of the orchestra, working with subdivided beats and reading notes on the staff.  Students will also prepare performance pieces and share their musical accomplishments during Connections’ Christmas and spring choir concerts. With each additional year in class, students will gradually acquire deeper and more thorough knowledge and skills in music.
