**Students do not need any background in music or access to musical instruments in order to attend this class.**

***Students will need to know how to unmute themselves for this class, so younger students may need to have an adult or older sibling on hand to assist them when necessary****

During each class session, we will:
- Introduce ourselves
- Sing a welcome song
- Practice drawing the musical symbol/concept assigned for that week
- Demonstrate the musical symbol/concept on an instrument or hard surface

For this age group, learning musical concepts during short periods of time (25 minutes) is a perfect length of time to keep them engaged with the subject while also having fun! Reviewing these same topics a number of times over the space of a semester will help young students retain the information when it appears later on in their private music lessons or group music classes at school!
