Teen Programs
Musical Expressions
Musical Expressions is a group program that exposes teens to a variety of
musical instruments, ideas, and experiences, in a fun social setting which
will help build peer friendships and relationships.
Teens will be presented with rhythm instruments from around the world and
will be given the opportunity to explore and develop interests in music by
communicating with sounds in a creative circle that features improvisation
and song writing.
Music adds stimulation, confidence, motivation, relaxation, creative
expression, direction, integration, concentration, emotion, and so much more
to our lives, so with Musical Expressions, the sky is the limit!
