Early Childhood
A parent or caregiver attends and joins in on the fun as a role model. Learn new concepts and songs each semester! In an age-appropriate, supportive, and enjoyable environment, your child will have fun singing, listening, playing rhythm instruments, and moving to music. Concepts such as high/low, fast/slow, soft/loud, start/stop, and keeping a steady beat are appropriately introduced for each age, are sequential in development and reinforced throughout the course of study. Each age group has its own curriculum and lesson plans to promote your child’s continued interest and musical progress.
