5 Early Childhood (4 weeks) The Early Childhood Program introduces young children to music and the performing arts. The curriculum is skill-based and is designed to explore music, theory, voice, movement, and drama. An adult must accompany the child for the entire duration of the class. In most classes, parents are invited to participate at the level of involvement determined by the teacher. Enrollment in classes is strictly determined according to the age of the child and classes themselves may be repeated if the faculty determines it would be beneficial to the child. Classes are in high demand, and enrollment closes very quickly; waitlists are maintained once a class is closed.
