About the Music In Early Childhood Program
For 50 years, the Conservatory of Music has been introducing small groups of active pre-schoolers to the world of music through this Kodály-based music literacy program. Children joyfully discover the elements of music through nursery rhymes, traditional chants, singing games, folk songs, selected art music and movement activities. They learn contrasting concepts such as fast-slow, high-low, using a variety of instruments.
