The Music and Movement program at Port Washington Children’s Center and Port After School Program is designed to engage students creatively in both the mind and body. With a focus on the basics of music, they learn basic music vocabulary, how to find and maintain a steady beat, and how to build rhythms and melodies. Through use of a wide range of genres spanning from classical to modern rock, our kids are garnering an appreciation for different art forms, as well as a passion for creating their own. Through Music and Movement, our students from early childhood to fifth grade are building important cognitive and motor skills, learning to successfully work in groups, gaining confidence through performance, and finding and celebrating their individuality through this movement-based musical medium.
