bergenPAC is dedicated to developing musicians through music. Music has many different styles to explore, and music does not limit our students to one particular style of playing. Students find ways to explore their craft while the teaching artists instill in them a self confidence that can only come with the sound of music.
Music Speaks introduces caregiver and child to musically driven activities such as chants, finger plays, and small and large movements using a variety of age appropriate musical instruments. Classes are 45 minutes and allow participants to explore, learn and discover the wonders and benefits of music.

The music program uses a mix of traditional and contemporary songs from around the world in order to bring out the innate musical nature of young children.
