Early Music Education (ages 0-6)

It is without scientific question that musical training has a large impact on the development of the brain, especially language, speech, attention, memory, and the ability to express emotions vocally. Using a blended approach of proven methods such as Suzuki, Orff, and Kodaly, Music Explorers is a journey of discovery designed to create a foundation for the well-rounded musical skills needed for private instruction.

Join your child in their first explorations of the musical world!  Bach Babies, Mozart Mites, and Rossini Rascals are designed for children 3 months to 4 years of age and offer a comprehensive approach to developing musicianship skills.  Sing interactive songs with the help of an animal friend, choose an instrument from the instrument bag to play, and use dance to feel the music in your body!  Watch your child develop coordination, confidence in solo performance, and the ability to work with others as they launch into a journey of discovery and enjoy the benefits of early music education.
