Leonie Critides, Music Teacher

Home Events & Info Schedule

Hello!!! Welcome to Frost Music site!!!  Music is very good for your child. It is a very good  memory tool and ENHANCES learning. In music your child learns to READ, play, sing, and create music.  In music class your child learns to get along with others and learn communicative skills. If there was no music or art this would be a sad world. The arts bring BEAUTY to the world. Please support the FINE ARTS in Georgetown! My name is Ms. Critides ( kri- TEE- des) or just, Ms. C.
