What is the Pre-K Music ABCs & Keyboarding program?
Music is a powerful multi-vitamin for your child’s brain. This class, with a unique, progressive curriculum, is designed for preschool music beginners to explore the Universal Language of Music, together with their parents. Everyone is engaged in learning to read and write music, and creating music stories. Activities include singing, dancing, music brain games, and multi-rhythmic exercises, sparking children’s curiosity and imagination.
PreK Music ABCs is a proprietary program, only offered at OSM. There are three different Song Collections in the PreK Music ABCs curricula; we use each Song Collection for 16 weeks. Student materials include 2 songbooks, online music access, and a homework binder with coloring worksheets for family project ideas.
