What We Do
Resilience
Our program teaches children and students how to cope with setbacks and challenges. This involves helping them understand that failure is a part of learning and growth. Encouraging them to view obstacles as opportunities to improve can build their resilience.
Growth Mindset
Our program introduces the concept of a growth mindset, where children and students believe their abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. This can foster a love of learning and resilience essential for great accomplishments.
Critical Thinking
Our program encourages children to ask questions, think critically, and analyze information rather than accepting it at face value. This helps them make informed decisions and solve problems effectively.
Problem Solving
Our program provides opportunities for children and students to engage in problem-solving activities. Writing, recording and performing music creates and environment where children and students need to find solutions. This equips them with the ability to tackle complex situations independently.
Emotional Intelligence
Our program teaches children to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. This includes self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.
Empathy
Our program fosters an environment where empathy is valued. It encourages children and students to consider others' perspectives and feelings. This is accomplished through collaboration in writing, recording, and performing music.
