reggio emilia LearningSome of our preschool faculty have trained in the Reggio Emilia style of teaching and incorporate this into their curriculum. In the Reggio Emilia style the music and art studio are setforinquiry-basedlearningandtheteacher’srole is to be a collaborator with the child, not just an instructor. The child is viewed as an active constructor of knowledge. Rather than being seen as the target of instruction, the child has an active role as an apprentice. The Reggio Emilia approach to teaching young children puts the natural development of children as well as the close relationships that they share with their environment at the center of its philosophy. Children learn through the experience of touching, moving, listening, seeing and hearing.

• In consideration of all enrollees, no unregistered siblings over the age of 6 months are permitted to attend.

• diSCOUNT: 2 or more from the same family = 5% discount OR more than one class or camp = 5% discount. Discount conditional upon registering at one time and cannot be combined with any other discount or financial aid.

I have also taught Orff-based music for preschoolers for The Music School in San Mateo. In 2010, I lectured at San Francisco State Univeristy on the importance and pedagogy of early childhood music.”

dawn Walker“My background includes classes in Kodaly singing, Kindermusik & Musikgarten. I have a Master of Music degree with a classical music emphasis, & a vast knowledge of American folk music.

Our Preschool arT Faculty - In Their Own WordsLena Boot“In addition to my work as an early childhood educator, my teaching passion is working with preschool-age children giving them opportunities to be creative in art. Creating art is a sensory activity that allows children to observe, explore & use fine motor & cognitive skills. Art provides them with an awareness of themselves & their surroundings.”

Whitney Couch“I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of the Arts in Oakland, with a focus in jewelry and metal arts. I believe that every child is inherently creative. I enjoy providing creative materials and projects for children to develop and express their creativity in a fun and warm environment.”

Lisette Lugo “I encourage creativity & with hands-on projects that give children choices. I have a degree from Academy of Art in San Francisco & training in early childhood education with an art focus. My love for teaching art has taken me from preschool to retirement communities, teaching ages 2 to 102, using art as therapy & teaching those with disabilities. Art is my passion.”

dawn Walker“I have a Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and have studied art at the University of Maine. I have taught art classes at CSMA for more than four years. I believe that every child is naturally creative, and I like to bring out this creativity by providing a sensory environment of sound, sight and touch. “

Music Assessment Opportunities for CSMA Students


CsMa Merit scholarship ProgramCSMA’s Merit Scholarship program reflects the pinnacle of talented students in the Music School. Students range in age from elementary school through high school and have been identified as showing a high level of talent, commitment and achievement in their CSMA studies, ready to develop the additional skills necessary to become high level performers. The program is open to instrumentalists and vocalists.

Merit Scholarship students and their families are regarded as the ambassadors of the CSMA Music School and are role models for all of our students and their families. Stage presence, rehearsal techniques and performance portfolio skills are built through ensemble coaching sessions and special workshops with CSMA Music School faculty. Merit Scholarship students perform throughout the academic year at concerts and events, both at CSMA and off-site. Students have performed at corporate functions, nursing homes, special events, hospitals and private homes as featured soloists and in student ensembles.

To be considered for a Merit Scholarship, students must be nominated by a faculty member and are only eligible for nomination after one year of continuous CSMA private lessons. Each year, CSMA awards approximately 50 Merit Scholarships, following competitive auditions before a panel of judges which are held every spring semester.

Several Merit scholars have gone on to become professional musicians, some with international acclaim. Former student Taylor Eigsti, for instance, is one of the country’s leading jazz luminaries, performs internationally and has released multiple albums. The program has been an excellent springboard for classical music education, with students accepted at some of the nation’s most prestigious music schools, including The Julliard School and Berklee College of Music.

student Profile

Kevin Murray, a mature 7th grader, is the epitome of a CSMA

Merit Scholar. He plays drums with the skill and passion of an

accomplished professional and speaks about his music with the

poise and aplomb of a veteran percussionist.

Kevin has been studying at CSMA

for five years, the past two as a Merit

Scholar, and performs with fellow

Merit Scholars Nathan Ho, Beni Ran

and Aku Sorenson in a jazz ensemble

called Parhelion. Kevin feels that the

Merit Scholarship Program is excellent

preparation for a career in music and

acceptance to music schools. “CSMA

has provided me with an extremely

valuable education and exposure which

has skyrocketed my musical growth.”
