FREE MUSIC AND MOVEMENT CLASSES!!!

Come try a FREE Sing, Play, Grow!  Preschool Age Music Class, 3 to 5 years with parent or caregiver (younger siblings allowed). This class continues to build a strong musical foundation and is a perfect bridge between toddler classes and instrumental lessons.  (While you might find a piano teacher who will take on your 3 or 4 year old, most children are not ready to begin until they are 5 or 6, or even older, and pushing them too early usually backfires!)  Each week we highlight musical concepts such as dynamics, tempo, range, and meter, and introduce advanced rhythm patterns, solfege, call and response singing, rhythmic part playing, and elementary dance steps.  Of course, children love the class because of all the funny 'big kid' songs, hand-on instrument time, dancing, puppets and storytelling!
