Kindergarten follows the First Steps in Music curriculum by John Feierabend. This curriculum is "designed to prepare students to become music in three ways:"
1. Tuneful- to have tunes in their heads and learn to coordinate their voices to sing those tunes.
2. Beautiful- to feel the pulse of music and how that pulse is grouped in either twos or threes.
3. Artful- to be moved by music in may ways that music can elicit an emotional response.
