Music

Music is part of our Monday homeschool program in Lakewood Ranch. Led by Ms. Alicia, who has years of experience teaching family music classes, private lessons and school enrichment. The youngest learners explore rhythm and movement, and by K/1 students are reading music and playing full songs.
