About the Course
Just as children learn letters early to master English, early childhood is the ideal time for them to explore the "language" of music. Music enhances cognitive skills, memory, language, motor development, and social growth. Singing, rhythm, and movement boost coordination, focus, and creativity - making learning fun, and inspiring a lifelong passion for music.
In our class, we will explore essential music concepts such as beat, rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and tempo. Children will be introduced to musical notes, symbols, and terms in an engaging, playful manner. Through games, stories, songs and fingerplays, they will actively engage in learning and deepen their understanding of music. We'll incorporate hands-on activities using rhythm sticks, percussion instruments, handbells, scarves, beanbags, parachute games, and more to make learning dynamic and fun!

About Dawn
Hello! I'm Dawn Kimberlin Combs and I'm so happy to be at Cornerstone!
I have two wonderful grown children and am blessed with six beautiful grandchildren. My love for children has led me to teach preschool through elementary in both school and church settings.
After completing classes at Oral Roberts University, I earned a Child Development Associate (CDA) through the National Council of Early Childhood Education in 2001. My experience includes kindergarten instruction through the Title 1 All-Day Program at Scottsburg and Lexington Elementary Schools, as well as teaching Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Physical Education, Elementary Math and Reading tutoring at Restoration Christian School. I also taught Music at Grace Christian Academy.
I have a deep passion for music and worship. I lead worship at New Bethel Church in Lexington, IN, where I've been a lifelong member. I've enjoyed teaching elementary Sunday School, leading Kids Church and Wednesday Kids Club, organizing children's Christmas and VBS music programs, and directing children and adult choirs.
In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, singing, hiking, traveling, cooking, baking, flower gardening, volunteering, and spending time with my family and friends. I have a heart for Jesus and music, and love teaching children about both.
