Preschool Program
the preschool program at Music Play Patrol
We are now offering in-person classes again to schools, preschools, and libraries throughout the Philadelphia region.
Our curriculum consists of interactive lessons, including Musical Storytelling, Movement Activities, DIY Instruments, World Music, African & Latin Percussion, and more. Every week, your students will be introduced to a new musical topic or theme.
Our classes consist of the following three components:
1. Movement Activity (Physical Activity/Dancing)
2. Sing-Along and Musical Storytelling
3. Education/Learning Activity (Instrument Discussion)
Want to see us in action? Check out our YouTube channel, Mr. Boom Boom’s Music Room to watch interactive music education videos for children ages 2 and up. (@musicplaypatrol).
If you’re ready for more info, we’d love to speak to you!
