Music on the Move! is an
interactive music enrichment program that focuses on general music
concepts, singing and just plain having fun on some instruments. The
purpose of Music on the Move! is to create a fun, educational
framework that will help to instill a lifelong love of music in
children through improvisation, creativity and self-discovery.
Though we do not teach formal music theory in MOTM, we do
incorporate its concepts in all of the activities including:
rhythm, harmony, melody, structure, and texture. Activities
also encourage creativity/imagination, teamwork, problem solving,
cultural awareness, and more.
