Music and movement have long been shown to play a positive role in early childhood development, something Rita Whitaker Haun has seen evidence of in children right here in North Tahoe.
“They moved much more easily. They sang much more easily. They were more expressive,” Haun said of kids who went through her early childhood program (for ages birth through five years old), and went on to excel in her music class at Truckee Elementary School.
“It blew my mind,” she stated.
