Early Childhood Music Program Posey School’s Childhood Music Program offers a rich musical environment for you and your child to explore the joy of music. We have classes for toddlers with an adult, as well as a class for children over three to attend on their own. Classes include moving, singing and playing musical instruments. While these classes are a lot of fun, they offer young children advantages that include cognitive and physical development and social skills. Music Studio The music studio is bright and warm—cheerful for young children. If you choose not to be in class with your child, there is a lounge area for you and any siblings. Allison Savitz, Music Program Director Allison Savitz has been working with children for the past nine years in pre-school settings. Allison has a musical background—she accompanies her classes with an autoharp, string instruments and some woodwinds. It is the joy and energy she brings with her that the children love.

Allison supports the basic premise that ALL children are musical. Each class includes: • Early music for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners • Instrument and rhythm play encourage learning by exploring and discovery • Early music promotes basic music competency • Share quality time with parents in a safe nurturing environment. • Songs of the season, children’s songs and songs from around the world
