Summit Homeschool Group

Give your child a joyful and developmentally appropriate introduction to music! In this engaging class, students will explore music through singing, movement, rhythm play, and listening activities using the nationally respected “First Steps in Music and Beyond” curriculum created by Dr. John Feierabend.

Designed especially for young learners, this approach develops children’s natural musical abilities while building a strong foundation for future music study. Through playful musical experiences, students will learn to match pitch, keep a steady beat, develop rhythmic awareness, and begin building a vocabulary of beautiful folk songs and musical patterns.

Each class will include singing games, movement activities, rhythm exploration, and musical storytelling that nurture creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of music. Students will also develop important skills such as listening, coordination, cooperation, and expressive movement.

This class is taught by Mrs. Leslie Furrow, a Virginia licensed music educator with 15 years of teaching experience and certification in the First Steps in Music curriculum. Her classes focus on joyful music-making while carefully guiding children toward strong musical understanding.

No previous musical experience is required—just a willingness to sing, move, and have fun!
