I love the wonder and curiosity early learners bring into the classroom. It’s a privilege to help guide their growth academically, socially, and emotionally during such an important stage in their development. Every day with young children is full of possibility.

This is one of the most effective ages for musical instruction. Kindergarteners have remarkably developed motor control, and their open-mindedness and lack of self-consciousness allow them to take in new information at an impressive rate. It's only fitting that Crowden has now expanded to include Kindergarten.

The Music Curriculum
Music as a Foundation for Lifelong Learning
In Kindergarten, students explore a variety of string instruments through three rotating trimesters, building confidence and fine motor skills.
Music and movement classes twice a week lay the groundwork for rhythm, harmony, and creativity. As students move into 1st and 2nd grades, they choose a primary instrument and continue building musical fluency through Crowden’s expanding curriculum—culminating in ensemble performances, music history, and musicianship in middle school.
