    Students and teacher playing music

    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.
