The Department of Music at Adams State University will be offering a free six-week music class for students in the San Luis Valley. Music 4 Kids is a music class designed for children in kindergarten through 2nd grade and it will meet Monday from 6:00-6:45. Classes start on Monday, March 23rd and end on April 27th. Classes will be held in room 117 of the Music Building at Adams State University.
This service learning project will provide a creative musical experience for children in the San Luis Valley Community while allowing for observation and teaching opportunities for ASU music education majors. Dr. Tracy Doyle and students in her Elementary Music Methods course will lead the classes in musical experiences influenced by the Dalcroze, Kodály, and Orff music education methodologies, all of which feature active learning and an experiential approach.
Music 4 Kids is open to the first 15 students who register and the course is free of charge. Due to the sequential nature of the material, the Music4Kids staff requests a commitment to all six sessions.
