Preschool

The preschool years are a time of discovery. Fours and fives begin to grow the deep roots that will nourish a lifetime of musical experiences. Growing in Grace objectives for preschool include:
  • Singing in an artful, tuneful manner
  • Moving to experience steady beat and express the musical phrase
  • Discovering the opposites of music –– high and low, soft and loud, fast and slow –– which help develop expressive singing
  • Playing rhythm instruments of different textures, which provide a means of making music while their voices are still developing
  • Developing listening skills
  • Learning that music is a joyful and natural means of expression
