Our approach to early childhood music and movement is research-based and proven successful in multiple musical programs in the United States, Europe, and South American supported by a vibrant variety of material resources of the highest quality. Every class is an opportunity for your children to be guided through different pathways of playful musical discovery; we begin with a variety of active innovative music-making experiences that are always building a strong foundation for all future learning including more formal music study at later developmental stages.
Children learn familiar children’s song repertoire as well as learn to express their own musical ideas through early musical creation activities and pre-musical composition experiences.
Creamos un entorno de aprendizaje lúdico que afirma que el aprendizaje es el trabajo divertido y feliz de la infancia.
We create a playful learning environment that affirms learning is the fun, happy work of childhood. Every aspect of the whole child is developing in a strong, healthy way through music and movement in a safe, supportive community.
