GNMF requests funding to implement the Music Together preschool curriculum in collaboration with Faith’s Place Preschool and After School Educational Center and Head Start preschool programs. <\/p>\n
The purpose of this program goes beyond learning to play an instrument and into the well-documented benefits of music education. Music education prepares students for learning by helping to develop their basic mental skills and capacities. Music instruction impacts learning by preparing students to learn by fostering working memory and thinking skills; facilitates academic achievement by improving recall and retention of learned information; and music education develops creative capacities by strengthening attentiveness, perseverance, and self-esteem for lifelong success (citations available upon request):<\/p>\n
GNMF proposes implementing a "Music Together" program (musictogether.com) for the 2024-2025 school year. The preschoolers will receive two 45-minute weekly classes using the "Music Together" materials. Music Together has a history of implementing its program with organizations such as Head Start. It has research-based literature on early childhood music education’s psycho-social and academic-readiness benefits. This program aims to support children’s development in key early learning domains to improve grade-school readiness.\n<\/p>\n
