Fitness Association of America, The American Council on Exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the
American Academy of Pediatrics. They proved exercises that have been designed for children’s ever changing

CDSA utilizes Sheila’s Musical Expressions, LLC. www.smemusic.net Classes are designed to be multi-sensory,
providing a positive, non- threatening learning environment where children can freely express their ideas and achieve
mastery in music. Research shows that music improves children’s memory, cognitive development, learning skills, and the
ability to express emotion.
