🎶 More Than Just a Melody: Why Music Education Matters at T.E.C. 🎶
Rupali Sharma • December 6, 2024

"It is movement that interests the child in music, and it is by movement that the very tiny child can arrive at understanding music with considerable delicacy." ~ Maria Montessori

This quote from Maria Montessori beautifully illustrates how we approach music education at T.E.C. As our students prepare for their upcoming Holiday Concert, we see them not just singing, but truly experiencing the music through movement and expression.


Why Music Holds a Special Place in Our Curriculum:

Music is more than just entertainment at T.E.C.; it's an integral part of our curriculum, woven into the fabric of our students' learning experiences. Here's why:

  • Brain Boost: Research shows that music education strengthens cognitive skills, improves memory, and enhances language development. It stimulates different areas of the brain, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Emotional Expression: Music provides a powerful outlet for children to express their emotions, explore their creativity, and build confidence.
  • Social Harmony: Singing, playing instruments, and moving to music together nurture collaboration, empathy, and a sense of belonging.
  • Cultural Appreciation: Through music, children learn about different cultures, traditions, and historical periods.
  • Joy of Performance: The experience of performing in front of an audience builds self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment.


Taking the Stage with Confidence:

Our students are eagerly preparing for their Holiday Concert in our beautiful new auditorium. We've witnessed their excitement as they rehearse, their voices blending in harmony, and their confidence growing with each note. This performance is a culmination of their hard work and a celebration of their musical journey.


Join us for the T.E.C. Holiday Concert! RSVP here!

We invite you to witness the magic of music and celebrate the holiday season with our talented students.


A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Jo Ann Warren for her dedication and passion in guiding our students on this musical adventure!

Greetings, faithful readers. It is I, Marvin , the resident bearded dragon and silent observer of the Upper Elementary and Middle School classroom, here to document a recent event of great importance. Animal care is a big part of this classroom because it provides a practical, daily opportunity for students to develop empathy, consistency, and a sense of duty.
