These skills will become the foundation of future music study and a lifelong enjoyment of music. This class will include music-based stories, playing rhythm instruments, exploring the sounds our voices make, singing, dancing, and creative movement activities. As you have fun and bond with your child during class, you will also develop your own music skills and learn ways to bring more music to your home.
