Early Childhood Music Enrichment Classes are designed to facilitate the development of language, analytical and creativity skills and coordination through the study of music. Research indicates that long-term participation in music instruction enhances spatial, verbal and analytical skills while developing creative thinking skills. These classes are excellent preparation for future instrumental and/or vocal training.
