Our Music Curriculum
Lionel Walden children love music lessons! We aim to provide children with a comprehensive and engaging music education that develops their basic music skills, fosters creativity and self-expression, and promotes social and emotional development through a variety of musical experiences and activities, including singing, playing instruments, reading notation, and learning about different musical styles and cultures.
Big Ideas in Music
Our music curriculum covers these areas of music

- Singing: Children learn to sing alone and in groups, using proper posture, breath control, and diction.
- Instrumental skills: Children may learn to play simple melodies on instruments such as the recorder, xylophone, or keyboard.
- Music notation: Children learn to read and write basic music notation, including notes, rests, and simple time signatures.
- Music theory: Children learn the basic concepts of music theory, such as melody, harmony, and form.
- Music appreciation: Children learn about different musical styles and cultures, and develop an understanding and appreciation of music as an art form.
- Creativity and self-expression: Children are encouraged to explore their own creativity and self-expression through music.
- Social and emotional development: Children develop social and emotional skills through group music activities such as singing, playing instruments together and learning to work with others.
