Journey into the world of music making as your child discovers their singing voice while exploring a variety of instruments. Every class is live music making (no recorded music) incorporating music from a variety of cultures. Children are exposed to a variety of tonalities and meters to assist in developing their musical ear at an early age. Basic music theory concepts are also included in each class laying the foundation for a smooth transition into private voice or instrument lessons.
