Sound & Wonder
listen | imagine | make music
Sound & Wonder is a music class for young children that develops the foundations of musical understanding. Children will learn to recognize and remember musical patterns, match pitch, keep a steady beat, respond to musical cues, and make their own musical choices.
One of the fascinating things about music is that we can hear it in our minds even when no sound is being made. A child can remember a familiar tune, anticipate the next part of a song, or imagine a sound before playing it. Sound & Wonder gives children opportunities to develop this ability through playful musical experiences.

Each week, children will build their listening and musical memory while exploring how music works. They will practice hearing patterns, predicting what comes next, responding to musical ideas, and creating their own.
