Music is Wellness comes to you with the curriculum and materials ready for class!

Program Overview
Music Is Wellness is a weekly hour class over 4 weeks for grades: 2nd / 5th / 9th. We have instrumental, voice, as well as General Music Is Wellness classes (click below for our class offerings). We bring the curriculum and any instruments needed to the school.
Classes meet weekly for one hour for 4 weeks and prepare students for a performance or a presentation. Classes meet during the school day often during a music class or an art class time.
Students learn new musical and social-emotional skills and then will apply said skills to a performance or presentation. Performance opportunities can occur: outside of school, during a previously scheduled assembly, over a lunch period, during class time, just to name a few. The 4 week schedule can be amended to either 8 or 12 weeks if desired. For instrumental class, instruments will need to be stored at the school for the duration of the session.
A Typical Day
Our dedicated staff works with students to create norms and expectations for their time together.
Through the learning of music, students develop both musical and social-emotional skills. These skills are embedded in our approach to studying music. These skills include:
Musicianship, learning to play an instrument or sing/write songs, dance, whatever the artistic medium may be.
Mindfulness practices to give students tools to navigate stress responses.
Breathing techniques designed to help students slow down and reassess a situation.
Learning to listen intently helping students reconnect to their own sound and the sounds around them.
