Fun, High-Quality Music Classes

For Children Ages 0-6 Years Old

 

Your child's voice is his/her first "instrument." Our classes will cultivate that "instrument" through song with the use of developmentally-appropriate games, puppets, rhythm instruments, and movement, stimulating your child's imagination and making music come alive. When your child joins our music class, he/she will engage in critical thinking skills in a fun learning environment with small class sizes. These classes will prepare your child for the academic challenges of school and engage the artist within your child. Learning music is one of the best activities you can choose for the developing mind! And your child will have a wonderful time!

 

Our music class curriculum is created and taught based on the Kodaly (pronounced KÓH-dye) methodology. Why Kodaly? It is child-centered learning at its finest! Kodaly music lessons are based on the principles that all children have the ability to sing and to make music, all children deserve the finest teachers who choose high-quality music for learning, and children should be consistently encouraged to participate in the activities of the lessons through musical reinforcement.

 

All classes are taught by Gayle Bentley, a credentialed music teacher with 10 years of successful classroom teaching experience, and a mother of two young sons.
