Music with Sara Purcell

I teach Music to the classes of 3 years old through Kindergarten. I received my Music Education certification from Oranim Teaching College in Israel; a BA degree in Psychology and Music from St. Edward’s University, and a certification for the Kodàly Method of teaching Music from TSU. In my General Music classes the children are introduced to musical activities in an age-appropriate, child-centered manner. Some of the activities are: Steady beat, tuneful singing, vocabulary, listening skills, coordination, body control, rhythmic values, improvisation, and creativities. My aim is to bring to the open every child’s God-given musicality, enjoy engaging in music, and benefit from the numerous academic advantages music education contributes to.
