In our preschool music classes, we teach through experience in a joyful, relaxed atmostphere.  Your child plays musical games, sings with friends, plays instruments, and dances and moves.  Most class sessions end with Teacher Lucinda singing a musical story.   While children delight in this fun, they (secretly...shhh) learn to keep a beat, use their singing voices, and express themselves in voice and movement.  This builds a foundation for future learning and musicality.
