The goal of Joyful Sound and Music Explorers classes is to assist caregivers in enabling their child to become tune-ful, beat-ful and art-ful by actively participating in informal music and movement activities based on traditional folk songs and rhymes. Adults will learn how to sing, dance and play with their child together in class and at home through their experiences in Joyful Sound music classes.
