Music Enrichment & Celebrations

At Northminster Early Childhood Center, each classroom enjoys a 30-minute Music class once per week, led by a dedicated music instructor. Our music program is designed to inspire a lifelong appreciation for music and to make it a joyful, meaningful part of each child’s early education.

Music classes include a variety of engaging, developmentally appropriate activities such as:

• Singing and vocal exploration

• Creative movement and dance

• Playing rhythm instruments and handbells

• Listening exercises that introduce different musical styles and instruments

• Exposure to music and traditions from around the world

Music instruction is often integrated with classroom themes to reinforce learning across subjects in a fun, expressive way.

To showcase their progress, children participate in two performances each year:

• A Holiday Concert in December

• A Spring Concert in late May or early June

In addition to our music performances, students enrolled in our Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program participate in a special Graduation Ceremony each June. A joyful celebration of their accomplishments and readiness for kindergarten.
