Our nurturing, play-based approach helps introduce your child to the world of music in a fun and supportive environment. No prior musical experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and get ready to make memories together!
Whether you're rocking to lullabies, dancing to upbeat tunes, or sharing quiet moments through music, this class is a beautiful way to connect with your child and other families in your community.
Mini Maestros
Mondays 4:00-4:45pm
September 8th-October 27th Session
Students will sing, dance, and play instruments as they explore a wide range of traditional and contemporary children’s songs—from today’s popular hits to multicultural music in a variety of languages. Along the way, they’ll develop critical listening skills by engaging with both classical and modern orchestral works. Through guided listening, students will learn to identify musical elements such as form, instrumentation, dynamics, and articulation, gaining insight into how composers use these tools to create expressive and emotionally rich music.
Group Ukulele
Group Ukulele
Mondays 5:00-5:45pm
September 8th-October 27th Session
The ukulele has become a popular and accessible entry point for young students exploring string instruments. In this class, students will learn foundational skills such as chord playing, fingerpicking, and rhythm through a fun mix of pop and folk songs. These techniques will allow them to both perform instrumental pieces and accompany themselves while singing.
After completing the initial session, students may choose to transition to guitar instruction or continue building more advanced ukulele skills. Either path offers a strong musical foundation and a joyful start to their musical journey!
