HOMESCHOOL MUSIC CLASSES DESCRIPTIONS
Elementary Music Classes K-5
These classes are for elementary-aged kids (K-5) and are centered around having the same experience they would in a public-school setting. Each grade level will have its own lessons and experiences with music. Having a consistent music schedule will help your child exceed in their virtual and homeschool studies and help with being at home.
All grade levels will include songs and lessons that are culturally diverse, correlate to academic studies, and have students sing, say, dance, and play in a tuneful, beatful, artful way.
