Pre-School

The Music and Movement class invites preschool students to explore and experience foundational elements of music and movement through play-based activities.  This class follows Dr. John Feieraband's Frist Steps in Music curriculum, an 8-part musical workout consisting of pitch exploration, fragment singing, simple songs, improvisation, movement exploration, movement form form and expression, beat motion activities, and song tales.  The movement portion of the class is based on Rudolf von Laban's framework of movement, which includes awareness of body, effort, shape, and shape.
