Music Magic with The Fort Bend Boys Choir
Music Magic is an enrichment program for 6- and 7-year-old boys who like music
and singing and want to learn more. The program will begin its 13th season on
Tuesday evenings at the First United Methodist Church of Missouri City from
6:30 p.m.-7:15 p.m. beginning Sept. 8-Oct. 27.
The eight-week program brings music alive for the boys through the use of
movement, singing, musical games and other child-centered activities. Boys
develop better large muscle coordination, pitch matching, increased focus,
rhythm awareness and musicianship. Because this class is so much fun for the
boys, they will learn quite a bit and make new friends as well.
The Fort Bend Boys Choir of Texas, world renown for their positive, proactive
musical education of boys, administers the Music Magic program.
The cost is $70 and no auditions are required. Boys will receive a free Music
Magic T-shirt. Classes are limited in size. For more information or to
pre-register, call 281-240-3800.
