Boston Conservatory Music Program for Young Children on the Autism Spectrum

The Boston Conservatory Music Program for Young Children on the Autism Spectrum is a fun and engaging way for parents to introduce their young children on the autism spectrum (ages 3-8) to music.  Taught by graduate students and alumni of The Boston Conservatory’s renowned Music Education program, these 45-minute “mommy and me”-style classes take place every Saturday at the school’s state-of-the-art training facilities, and run for a period of 10 weeks, beginning September 2015.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Curriculum that nurtures a broad musical foundation through hands-on experiences and engaging activities
The use of handheld percussion instruments to practice rhythmic patterns and explore various ways to create with musical sounds
The use of movement props to discover different ways to connect with music
Opportunities for students and parents to make music together in a group

The musical repertoire for this program consists of folk songs and original compositions created by the program’s instructors.  Families will receive a CD of songs from class to play at home.
