OMA at Fruchthendler

Research shows that students who participate in the arts develop strong critical thinking, problem-solving and academic skills.

Every child deserves a rich and engaging education, and OMA Gold is one of the ways our teachers make that possible.

Students learn rhythm to develop verbal communication and literacy skills.

Through learning about opera, students build a connection between writing and music.

Creative movement helps expand students’ vocabularies and develop critical thinking skills.

Through weekly recorder performance/composition classes, students make progress with skills such as listening, processing visual information and coordinating movement.

Students play a stringed instrument, which further develops the left brain/right brain intellect.

Everything students have learned over the last five years comes together, with students gaining a better understanding of the arts through attending professional performances and connecting with community arts partners.
