Music has a powerful effect on our emotions, and on academic areas. This has been proven by many research studies. Immanuel Genius strives to give the method of the Mozart Effect to our students.

Music lessons will include fun and educational explorations of different rhythms, beats, moods, and basic notes. In addition, children will be exposed to different types of classical background music throughout their day depending on the mood of the activity or program (nap time, meal time, class work, center time, etc…)
