Growing in Grace is a comprehensive, scripturally-based music curriculum engaging multiple learning styles, developed by proven educators and children’s choir experts.

As the summer draws to a close, get your kids back into the learning with engaging fun to make every minute count with colorful visuals that enhance musical concepts.Cost is $350 for the first child; $325 for siblings. Class will be held in the Choir Room of Marple Presbyterian Church at 105 N. Sproul Road, Broomall, PA. Please bring a packed lunch. Peanut-free snacks will be provided.

As more and more arts are being pulled from schools, give your child the special gift of music. Music is the most natural mode of learning and expression for children. Research shows that music education makes the brain work harder, encourages language development, improves spatial-temporal skills, test scores and even increases IQ!
