EARLY CHILDHOOD (AGES 0-8)

Discover Music!

A cozy, playful and sensory-filled music session made for you and your little one to connect, play, and spark early connections to music. We'll use gentle lap bounces, playful vocal games, floor movement, and soft props to help your baby naturally discover pitch, beat, and dynamics in a warm, welcoming space. Requires parent/guardian participation.

Focus: Auditory tracking, internalizing the beat, bonding, and early vocal play.

Teaching Artist: Andy Leon-Ramos

Ages: 0-12 months

Day/Time: Saturdays, 9:00am - 9:45am

Explore Music!

An energetic, curiosity-led music class for active toddlers ready to move, groove, and explore! Each week, our classroom of musical explorers set off on a new journey—traversing oceans, rainforests, and snowy polar lands. Through big-body movement, sensory props, and jam sessions with our instrument buffet, toddlers build rhythm, confidence, and coordination as they discover the musical world around them. Requires parent/guardian participation.

Focus: Musical exploration, steady beat, spatial awareness, and active movement.

Make Music!

A creative, hands-on lab where preschoolers and their grown-ups become real music makers together! Each week, families journey through the changing seasons—from sunny ocean waves to autumn leaves and snowy arctic blizzards—exploring pitch, tempo, dynamics, and rhythm through seasonal stories, active movement, and singing. Then, parents and kids collaborate to build a fun, musically inspired craft to take home. Requires parent/guardian participation.

Focus: Seasonal exploration, musical vocabulary, parent-child creative collaboration, and hands-on crafts.

Playful activities are used to introduce the language of music with an intuitive, natural approach using xylophones and percussion instruments to develop young students' sense of pitch, rhythm and physical coordination.

Singing supports language development, confidence, and emotional expression in young children. We believe all children should learn to use their voices from an early age in a joyful, supportive environment.

Students explore a vibrant repertoire—from timeless classics to pop hits and global sounds—all while forming life-long friendships.
