Overview

Dr Jessica Smith, Director Preparatory & Continuing Studies Department at UH Moores School of Music teams with UHCCC and builds another successful collaboration for the arts at our Center.

Ms. Rhona Brink provides music education classes for ALL preschool children every Tuesday and Thursday.  With the vision and kindness of Lisa and Agbo Abiola, this program has been fully funded through their Initiative in Music Education.  UHCCC thanks Lisa and Agbo for their generosity and their commitment to music education for all children!

Rhona Brink recently retired from public school music education with 26 years of experience. She worked during those years with children, ages 3 – 11. Ms. Brink is a certified specialist in the Kodály approach to teaching music, which is a developmentally-based method of teaching, based on the folk music and art music of the child’s culture. She is an instructor in the newly formed Kodály Institute of Houston, at U of H’s Moores School of Music, teaching pedagogy of music for teachers of pre-school and kindergarten. We are very fortunate to have her teaching at our Center!
