MusIQ Club enables students to participate in an enriched group music and piano program weekly for one hour at the Creative Learning Connection. Students progress from level to level, each term advancing their musical skills. MusIQ Club makes use of specialized software and
MIDI piano keyboards. These interactive tools facilitate group
classes and provide an excellent resource for quality practice at
home.
