Infant Classes (newborns- 18 months)

Our infant classes provide babies a gentle introduction to music as well as a special musical time with the parent/caregiver.  Through dance, song, exercise and exploration of instruments and movements, infants discover music through playful learning.  Making music and reacting to song and dance will enhance coordination, language, creativity and thinking skills.  

Toddler Classes (18 months-3 years)

Feeling an inner beat, establishing self control, and learning creativity are just a few benefits of this Early Childhood Music class.  It lays the foundation for future study and helps foster the development of critical musical attributes needed for private instruction.  These fundamentals are taught through music, song, dance and chants. Children will have the opportunity to explore pitched and non-pitched instruments.  They will grow through vocal, instrumental, and imaginary play.  These group lessons encourage self-confidence and at the same time allow the "quiet" child to observe and absorb new information.  Imagination, motor skills and expression are enhanced through these classes.

Music & Movement (3-5 years)

This class is a wonderful preparation for private instrumental lessons.  Young children will explore vocal ranges, whole body movement, steady beat, imagination, music history and musical notation. Through play and music, students will learn fundamental music concepts that will enhance their musical education and give them a head start. This class helps to foster self-confidence, motor skills, and language development.  This class is a great choice for the child that loves music but is not ready for formal private instruction.
