Children explore the shadows cast by a light projector

Music and Movement are a very important part of early childhood education.  At the Brick Church School, children go to music every week to sing, play, dance, listen, and explore.  Learning the fundamentals of pitch and rhythm during the formative pre-school years prepares the child for a lifetime of joyful music participation and appreciation. 

The Brick Church Music and Movement curriculum, taught by Amanda Smith, is influenced by the Kodàly, Orff, Dalcroze, and Music Together music education methods. The curriculum is also influenced by the Reggio Emilia Early Childhood philosophy.
