Music

Montessori is Music!

Music has a magical way of bringing people together, catching their attention, and aiding in the development of meaningful memories! All through the curriculum, the children are engaged in listening to and participating in music from around the world, with a variety of rhythms and instruments, and with the intention of deepening their interest in music and in learning!

Rhythm, Movement, and Coordination

At the toddler and primary levels informal and formal music education occurs through singing, listening to music, introduction of instruments, introduction of musical notation, and exploration of sound. Students at Namaste have musical experiences spread throughout their week. At the primary level, the music specialist leads circle time once a week bringing in classroom instruments, scarves, songs, finger plays and movement activities. Classroom guides incorporate songs in daily circle times, and for transitions. There are a set of Montessori bells in each Primary classroom, and a curated playlist of instrumental music.
