The goal of First Steps in Music is to ena ble all participants to reach their full potential in singing\, vocabulary \, and movement skills\, with an emphasis on developing sensitivity to the expressive qualities in music. Each class is designed to be playful and e njoyable to children\, while providing a carefully planned curriculum that includes developmentally appropriate activities. Children are not taught formally about the specifics of music\, but rather they play with music th rough a series of eight well-rounded activities based on the First Steps i n Music curriculum offered by our partners from the Fort Wayne Children's Choir.

sed on the First Steps in Music curriculum\, children and their parents/ca
