Music is Innovative!
The goal of the music program is no less than creating a life-long tool; the ability to express feelings either too primal or too complex to be expressed by words alone.
The new Music Program at Italian Home for Children’s Pallotta Educational Center provides students a chance to explore sound and music creation in an experiential way, from building their own working cigar-box guitars and playing both traditional and Rock & Roll instruments in class, to working toward a performance together with our musical staff in the school Band or Drum Ensemble.
