INFANT/TODDLERS
Our Infant/Toddler program builds upon your child’s innate musical sensibilities, providing joyful, multi-sensory experiences that promote a physical and emotional connection with the music. Our weekly song ritual brings consistency, while the ever-changing class themes introduce new songs, instruments, recordings and creative ways to play with your baby. Take home more than a melody-- we impart ways to make music a part of your everyday.

TWOS
Keep the music growing with our dynamic Twos’ program. You and your child will experience our rich, creative, and interactive musical curriculum with themes that inspire and enliven your child’s musical development. This is the year when the music in your child truly comes out to play.
"This class is not just my child's favorite part of the week, it's mine too! Music for Children is a joy for children and parents alike." -Providence parent in the Twos class

THREES
Your children are masterful, musical inventors with so much to share. We have crafted a Threes’ program that connects beat, rhythms, melody, form, dynamics, tempo, and all things musical with their world of fantasy and naturalistic play. We invite you to share the music with them into January, then we let the music soar as they come independently.

FOURS (independent classes begin)
Your children will internalize the music through our “once upon a song story” style of teaching. We’ll be “horsin’ around,” “going to the circus,” and visiting the “teddy bear’s picnic,” to name just a few adventures. In January, the music climbs to the next level as we begin group piano lessons. Parents are invited to join us for the first class to learn more.

FIVES
We believe that total musicianship must be nurtured from within and in a way that inspires. That’s why every class incorporates imaginary play, creative drama, dance and art. There are so many ways to experience the music! In January, our Fives embark on a musical safari with our piano book, “Harry the Hippo and Friends.”

SIXES / SEVENS
“When do I sign my child up for private lessons?” This class is the best way to prepare your child for formal musical training, while still giving him/her the playful, developmentally-appropriate space to learn and create. At this level your child will have lessons in piano, voice, recorder and ukulele, while building confidence through creative drama and dance.
