The program focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach by using music as a medium to explore the world. In our daily exercises children may learn about geography, literature, reading, culture, science, math or drama all through music. 
Rhythm and MovementWe learn best by doing... Participate in games and simple exercises learning the basics of rhythm.Singing and ActingExpression... Learn new twists to old songs and how to dramatize and create new songs.World MusicOne of music's most fascinating aspects is its breadth of diversity... Each class will involve discovering a new instrument, story or song from other cultures. Local PerformersEvery session has a local performer(s) from the community to share an instrument or style of music with the session. Students from the studio also frequently perform their pieces at Kids' Vibrations.
