MYO Forms Partnership with Pride Academy

MYO has developed a new partnership with The Pride Academy including weekly lessons at the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center. Pride Academy provides all-day childcare for children ages 0-4 and after school care for children ages 5-12 and serves underserved children in desperate need. 
 
 
One of the goals of Pride Academy is ensuring every child is equipped with the proper knowledge to begin their educational journey.
 
The children learn fundamentals like how to find their spot in the classroom; how to listen and follow instructions; how to stand; how to hold their instrument and move their bow; rhythm through nursery rhymes and other simple activities; interaction; as well as patience, respect, and self confidence.  In addition to the weekly lessons, Pride Academy staff incorporated music time into their daily curriculum.
