Project Title: Music Morning Enrichment
Project Description:

Friendship Academy of the Arts morning music enrichment program is designed to kick-start our students’ days with the invigorating power of music. Understanding the positive impact of music on young minds, this program is tailored to nurture creativity, enhance academic performance, and foster a lifelong love for music. To stimulate students’ cognitive and creative abilities through music. This will help provide a foundational understanding of various musical genres and instruments, enhance teamwork and social skills through group performances, and promote cultural awareness and appreciation through world music exploration.

Our approach is hands-on and interactive, focusing on experiential learning. Students will have access to a variety of instruments and will be encouraged to participate in group activities, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. As a result of this program students will have improved concentration and memory, enhanced teamwork and communication skills, increased appreciation and understanding of diverse musical styles, and development of foundational musical skills.

FAA’s Music Morning Enrichment program is more than a music program; it’s a journey towards developing well-rounded, culturally aware, and creatively inspired students.
