All-Around Music Classes
General music classes are fun for children and their caregivers.
In these classes, children gather with others their age to sing, create rhythms, and move their bodies to music.
Classes are available for newborns (lapsit), toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, and through age 7.
In this class, your child will explore music in a fun, engaging way that encourages:
✨ Social skills
✨ Gross & fine motor development
✨ New vocabulary
✨ Self-management skills and more!
Themes change with the seasons and years so the class feels new even as the skills are reinforced.
As your child develops, the class evolves! Your child will continually be stretched to learn new musical skills.
Classes alternate focus between Rhythm and Melody, allowing new students to join every term without feeling behind.
After two terms or their fifth birthday (whichever comes later), they’ll be ready to join new friends in Piano Buds—a wonderful foundation for a lifetime of music.
Motivated students age 3 – 5 with two terms in the program may be ready for our Growing Musicians class, preparing to start private lessons in violin, cello, or piano. This class is by invitation only.
