Pre-Instrumental Program
Our Kodály, Orff and Eurhythmics programs ignite the music within, nurturing musical ability,
appreciation and literacy.
KODÁLY
Begins with the voice strengthening singing and its related skills including ear-training, solfege, sight- singing, inner-hearing and eventually literacy.
ORFF
Encourages creativity through a progression from speech, to singing, to body percussion, to movement, to instrument-play (pitched/unpitched percussion) and eventually improvisation.
EURHYTHMICS
Acknowledges the foundation of musical rhythm comes from the natural rhythms of the body. Through movement, eurhythmics cultivates awareness, self-control and expression.

SK (5-6 years)
Children develop melodic and rhythmic understanding with increased sensitivity to expression, quality of sound, rhythmic flow, patterning and form. Literacy skills are rapidly developing, and ear-training activities introduce pentatonic/major scales and solfege notation, further explored on a wide variety of pitched and unpitched instruments. Students learn to both lead and follow and to respect the physical space and ideas of their peers.
*SK (5-6 years) will not be offered during the 2022-2023 session.
Ensemble Programs
Our fun and empowering Ensemble classes focus on creativity and developing musical expression. They are designed as the final stage before private instrumental study. Through musical exploration students learn how music is created, as well as how to intuitively create their own music. They develop strong melodic/rhythmic literacy, solfege and inner-hearing skills critical for instrument study.
