Class Experience

Do you love to sing and learn new songs? Do you want to know more about the building blocks of music? This class is for you!

When students study music, they not only learn to sing songs but also the musicality that goes into them. As students learn songs to sing and move to, they will not only learn about the lyrics, but will also gain an understanding of the solfege-melody- that goes into the songs. In this class, we will learn songs and the melodic elements within the Pentatonic Scale.
