Adults, regardless of musical ability, find it fun to create an environment that supports a child of any age in achieving basic music competence. Children of mixed ages participate by watching/hearing adult modeling of music-making, and eventually singing, moving and playing instruments at their own developmental level. Classes run for 10 weeks in fall winter and spring, 6 weeks in summer.

Classes for 3 to 5 year-olds who are ready for more of a peer experience. Though very similar to mixed-age classes, teacher will allow opportunities for individual singing and music creativity, as well as some one-on-one interaction with teacher. Younger siblings are welcome and will still benefit from being in a rich musical environment.

This is a Music Together class especially for pre-walkers! Class activities and flow similar to mixed-age classes, but with fewer standing activities and unique methods for parents and babies. Babies should be under 9 months at start of term to register for these classes.

RhythmKids classes, taught by teacher Martin Isaac allow children to experience culturally diverse music and drumming, gain self-confidence and self-esteem, increase memory and concentration skills, make new friends, plus a whole lot more. In each class we mix African drumming with healthy habits (mild exercise and yoga) and age-appropriate games that kids LOVE!

This "pre-piano" group class for 4 and 5 year-olds is similar to Young Musicians, yet with more focus on introducing young children to the basics of the piano. Each class will include activities and games which teach about the layout and range of the piano keyboard, as well as movement, singing and percussion instrument play to allow children to continue their basic music development. Movement activities based upon philosophy and techniques of Dalcroze Eurhythmics. Children will learn to play a few simple pieces in duet with teacher.

African hand drumming with RhythmKids is FUN! Come for an hour of powerful music-making as we learn rhythms and play together. This session is a great introduction to drumming, and is appropriate for all ages. Along with African djembe drumming, RhythmKids uses singing, rhyme, rhythmic chants, movement, and games to help our students develop a strong internal beat - plus, it's cool! Join us for the love of music, for the chance to experiment, and for the smiles! Each participant will have use of their own djembe for the session, so parents and grandparents finally get their turn to jam!
