Music for Young Children (MYC) enrolling for January 2018 Classes

Encore Music Academy and Recording Studios is pleased to announce their newest musical offering for young children and parents! Music for Young Children, (MYC), is an internationally-known, highly-ranked program that already has 37 years of success, over 900 teachers and 24,000 students and counting, across three continents! 

Founded in Canada, MYC grew rapidly by building strong bonds with children through music. The goal is to provide the best musical education to young children by blending the pleasure and joy of music-making with sound instruction. Encore is proud to be adopting MYC's early childhood curriculum and methods which directly integrate into, and utilize, The Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum. 

Music for Young Children (MYC)

This program, created for children ages two to ten years, is designed to teach children, at an early age, piano skills, how to read music, sight-reading skills, composition and ensemble playing. MYC instructors incorporate the four learning styles (auditory, tactile, analytical and visual) to teach each concept which ensures that every child has the highest level of success by being able to apply these skills in each class setting, and as they grow musically.

Encore will offer classes beginning in January, 2018, and registration is now open! Classes for ages 2 and 3 meet weekly for 10-week sessions. The Sunshine level (ages 3 and 4), Sunbeams (ages 5 and 6), and Moonbeams (ages 7-9) are one-hour, weekly classes that run for 36 weeks, broken into three 12-week sessions.

"The opportunity for little ones to begin the music-learning process at such a young age and with such a comprehensive curriculum is one we have been wanting to offer to our students for a while now."

In the News: incident at FHS handled quickly; seat belt law advocated for

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"An incident at Franklin High School caused brief panic for parents, students, and faculty on Tuesday afternoon. 
An email was sent to parents of Franklin Schools by superintendent, Sara Ahern and Franklin High School principal, Paul Peri, outlining the incident. 
According to the email, “A parent came into the office to share a text message she received from her child saying that he/she overheard another student talking about something occurring in the cafeteria at 12:15 and that students should get under their tables.” 
Police swiftly identified the student in question and removed the individual from the building. Due to the fact the student was identified so quickly and a timely response from Franklin Police, the administration felt a lockdown was not necessary."

"Police officers and transportation safety experts called on lawmakers to finally throw their support behind a long-stalled bill that would allow police officers to stop drivers for not wearing a seat belt, but the Legislature appears to be proceeding with caution amid concerns about profiling. 
“As we all know, wearing a seat belt is the single best defense against injuries and deaths in a car crash,” Dr. Bella Dinh-Zarr, a public health expert on the National Transportation Safety Board, said. “We know seat belts are a lifesaving technology, we know a primary seat belt law will increase seat belt use, and increased seat belt use will save lives and prevent injuries.” 
For years, plans to stiffen penalties under the state’s seat belt law have buckled in the face of racial profiling and privacy considerations. Under the current law, police officers in Massachusetts can only issue a ticket for a violation of the seat belt law if they pull the driver over for another offense."
