🎤 Singing – The Most Natural Instrument
Singing adds joy, focus, and helps create a strong sense of camaraderie, nurturing a “musical heart and mind” essential for young musicians.It’s a wonderful way to connect with the music and build bonds with fellow students from the very start.
​
🎹 Playing – 10 Fingers, 88 Keys!
Rather than limiting young students to a small set of notes, we encourage exploration of the entire keyboard. With engaging songs and activities that build progressively, your child will make steady technical progress across the keys.
​
▶️ In Motion – Learning with Energy & Fun
Songs are introduced with simple body movements to express lyrics, keeping children engaged and focused. Music circle time includes fun manipulatives and creative writing activities to make each concept stick.
​
🎵Rhythm – Energetic and Fun
Students first express rhythm with large muscle movements, gradually refining it with individual finger muscles. From playing a big drum to stomping “dinosaur” quarter notes, rhythm becomes a full-body, exciting experience.
​
🔎 I-See – A Musical Scavenger Hunt
Using a playful, investigative approach, we encourage students to spot patterns, lines, spaces, dynamics, and other elements in the music. This approach turns spotting the basics into a fun, flawless experience, building confidence with each piece.

🫳🏼 Technique – Playful and Purposeful
Technique comes alive with imaginative metaphors: pressing chocolate chips into clay for firm fingertips, doing a “cat back” for posture, and creating rainbow wrist motions. Each technique exercise is designed to be purposeful while tapping into a child’s spirit of play.
