Mind, Music, and Movement - Brooklyn Rec
2024-04-05 10:00 - 2024-04-26 11:00 (America/Denver) | Brooklyn Community Center, 31 Tiffany St, Brooklyn, Connecticut, 06234, United States
Join us for Mind, Music, and Movement partnering with Brooklyn Parks and Rec. This FREE program will use music, dance, and art to help children develop their growing minds. When children create music, they are learning new ways to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Children in this program will utilize maracas, bells, and other age-appropriate musical instruments. Additionally, children in this group will be exposed to a variety of different movement activities, aiding in the development of fine and gross motor skills. Music brings pleasure, calmness, and excitement to the growing minds. The mind will learn to process information expressively and creatively, while also learning new skills, and physically developing.

Fridays in April 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
