Research shows that children learn best when in discovery mode, which encourages playfulness, exploration, curiosity and joy. ✨
Our movement to music class provides a structured environment for students age 2-4 to imagine, explore, create, and discover. Technique is taught at the right time as students grow and mature, gradually incorporated over the years of study. Classes are accompanied by live piano music.
We think play and discovery is key to learning at any age.
Classes start September 8. A spring performance is held at The Alabama Theatre the first Sunday in May.
