Education

For the Love of Words and Sounds

A Unique Fusion of Powerful Learning Experiences

For the Love of Words and Sounds educates children about the arts through the arts. Utilizing a multiple intelligences approach, the program fuses classical music, projected visuals with dramatic narrations. We aim to make learning engaging, through authentic, meaningful activities. In addition, our programs feature nationally recognized performers and are of exceptionally high artistic quality. For the Love of Words and Sounds, designed especially for children ages 4-12, creates an exciting, inquiry-rich environment.

This unique program was offered for 3 seasons. Now due to lack of funding, the program is on hiatus. Please consider  helping us to bring it back.
