A structured, play-based music class for ages 5-7. We explore one musical idea across instruments, then bring it together as a group to build curiosity, confidence, and joy.

Across the term we rotate through piano, ukulele, drums, and voice, with intro guitar when ready. We map concepts from one to another - dynamics, timbre, range, expression markings, note reading, and more.

Kids build ensemble habits with start/stop cues, echo patterns, and leadership turns. We delve deeper into reading music with simple notes, tuples, and rhythms.

Technique-without-tension guides every step: comfy posture, relaxed hands, smart grips and rebounds, and healthy humming. We keep things welcoming with small groups.

You won’t need to buy an instrument—your child uses ours in class. You’ll leave with practical ideas to keep making music at home.
