Offering the following classes:
Music Together® Mixed Ages
Mixed Class Newborn - 4
Child development researchers recommend mixed-age groupings because it fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating the older ones; older children learn by leading the younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments.

Suzuki Piano and Violin lessons
The Suzuki method is a teaching system developed by the Japanese violinist and educator Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998). The essentials of the Suzuki method are an early beginning, parental participation, and rote learning. The children look, listen, and imitate. There are regular private lessons and periodic group lessons. Children as young as two-and-a-half or three years old are accepted without any preselection, and introduced to music one step at a time.
Children trained in the Suzuki method learn to play the same way they learn to speak, by hearing a sound and then reproducing it. This is what Suzuki calls the mother-tongue method. The pupils imitate not only their teachers but also their peers, and find confidence in the common enterprise. Parents are essential to the success of the training and are involved directly as home teachers. Parental participation is inversely proportional to the age of the child - the younger the child, the greater the parental involvement.
African Drumming
New drop off class for children ages five to eleven.
This class is designed to introduce children to the world of drumming. Using movement, call & response, songs, games and rhythm instruments.
