Introduction to Music of the World: Mexico

At Quartertonez Music, we’re excited to introduce “Introduction to Music of the World: Mexico”, a culturally rich group music class for students at Franklin Montessori School. Through song, movement, percussion, storytelling, visual art, and creative play, children will explore the music and artistic traditions of Mexico while building foundational music skills, confidence, creativity, and cultural awareness.

Franklin Montessori Enrichment Program

This immersive semester-long program invites children to experience the music, art, stories, and traditions of Mexico and Mexican American communities in a joyful, hands-on way.

Students will sing, move, play instruments, create art, and explore themes connected to Día de los Muertos, family, memory, Frida Kahlo, Mexican folk and visual arts, and Mexican American and Chicanx culture.

Throughout the semester, guest artists will visit the classroom to share music, dance, visual art, storytelling, and other traditions from different regions of Mexico, giving children the opportunity to learn directly from artists and cultural practitioners.
