Music Foundations Preschool

Music Foundations classes offer young children a wonderful opportunity to foster and deepen their blossoming music skills in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Music Foundations classes are taught by early childhood music educators with specialized training and who are practicing musicians. Children use their whole bodies to engage actively in music-making. They develop strength and coordination, balance, and a sense of their bodies in space. Activities are designed to engage fine and gross motor skills and reinforce fundamental coordination and cross-cerebral movements.

Gifted Music School Children's Chorus Choir Class Advertisement with Voice Teacher Dr. Sarah Houghton

Children's Chorus

The Children's Chorus is open to singers ages 8-14, who have little or no former choral experience, through placement audition. Singers will learn the fundamentals of healthy vocal production, and aural, part- independence, notation-reading, and ensemble skills; there is a special emphasis on learning audiation (i.e., to hear and understand music in the brain) skills and the development of autonomous musicians. Through developmentally appropriate vocal activities and repertoire, singers learn music in unison and multi-part voicing and a variety of musical styles and languages. Students perform in two concerts per year, in the fall and spring. All choristers must have text-reading ability.
