Smart Start is an engaging, neuroscience-based Early Childhood Music Education (ECME) curriculum designed to awaken a curiosity for music in children, ages 0-6. With each child’s developmental stage in mind, the Smart Start curriculum consists of 30-weekly classes, varying in length by age group, delivered by a specially trained music teacher. Lessons are filled with fun and engaging activities that guide the child through foundational music principles fostering cognitive development. Smart Start empowers every child and their family to experience the wonder of learning music, while benefiting from the advantages of early cognitive education.
THE SMART START PHILOSOPHY
Every child should have access to high-quality music education, from the earliest age possible. The RCM’s extensive work with neuroscientists has shown that music training, in the stages of early childhood, is linked to an improvement in cognitive function. Using this insight, the Smart Start program was created to nurture the core developmental traits of reading, memory, and IQ through music education. Thus, making music the cornerstone for continued lifelong achievement.
