More Info
Singing games and open-ended exploration to build your child’s emerging music literacy skills. We gently introduce music concepts such as melody, dynamics, tempo, beat, and rhythm while providing hands-on experience with "big kid" instruments and songs.
More Info
In this special class for siblings, families share musical time together engaging in interactive songs and musical play. Older children and younger children leave the class with lots of songs to sing and play together at home.
