About this Course

Smart Start is a program which uses music, along with other art forms, to teach cognitive skills to young children. It builds on the RCM's decades of music pedagogy in early childhood, with input from the RCM's Director of Research, Dr. Sean Hurchins, a neuroscientist. We recognize that children learn in various ways, so it is crucial to tailor our instruction to suit each child's learning needs. By integrating drama, dance and visual art, we created a comprehensive learning experience that engages children physically, visually and socially. Parents participation is required.
