Music Through the Halls

Classical music benefits children in wonderful ways. Music helps children to make better grades and think more creatively. Children have a chance to develop musical skills, discipline and self-esteem. Students learn the value of excellence while they explore creativity and expression through music making.

We are excited to announce that our students are enjoying Minds on Music, a unique music education program which features a new composer each month.  Every morning when students arrive at school, classical music rings through the halls. This month our featured composer is Beethoven, and the children are enjoying learning about his music and life.


Our Suziki Violin Program is off to a good start. Violin teacher, Jessica Ker, is teaching lessons before school on Mondays and Wednesdays to a group of enthusiastic kindergarten and first grade students. We are excited to see the Lord bless these children through music. 

 
Help Needed!  Brookstone's children are in need of violins and funding for the program. If you have any small violins (sizes: 1/10 through 1/4) or would like to donate to provide violins, our students would be greatly blessed. To get involved and offer these students an opportunity in classical music please contact Nancy at nancy.turbeville@brookstoneschools.org.
