Music foundations is $30 per student and lasts 10 weeks. For your first foundations class, we include two of the classes for free.

Young children are naturally curious and eager to explore music, but traditional private lessons can be challenging at this stage due to developing attention spans, coordination, and fine motor skills. The Music Foundations class is designed specifically for 5-6 year olds, offering a structured yet playful approach to early music education that builds essential skills in an engaging group setting.

In Music Foundations, students:

✅ Avoid Lesson Burnout – The most important thing at 5-6 years old is for kids to play in time, have fun, and want to continue their musical journey. Thirty-minute group classes on age-appropriate instruments keep kids engaged. 

✅ Develop Rhythm & Coordination – Through movement and percussion activities, children improve timing, balance, and coordination, which are crucial for playing any instrument.
✅ Explore a Variety of Instruments – From drums to ukulele, keyboard, and even unconventional percussion, students get hands-on experience that helps them discover what they enjoy most.
✅ Learn in a Fun & Supportive Group – Playing music with others fosters teamwork, listening skills, and confidence, ensuring children associate music with joy rather than pressure.
✅ Build a Strong Musical Foundation – Students gain early exposure to rhythm, melody, and structured practice, making for a smooth transition into private lessons when they are ready.

For those who are ready, our Transition phase provides the perfect opportunity to move into individual instrument lessons. Others may choose to continue with additional Foundations sessions, deepening their skills while having fun in a social learning environment. No matter the path, our program ensures that music remains an exciting and enriching part of your child's growth.

Each session is 10 weeks long and you’ll be enrolling in the full 10 weeks. We have 8 unique sessions so that a 5 year old can potentially take two full years of Music Foundations before transitioning to private lessons.

Students will explore a variety of instruments, including drums, keyboard, ukulele, and even unconventional percussion like trash bins! Most sessions focus on 1-2 instruments.

No. Many of our students advance to private lessons at the end of Sessions 1 or 2. Depending on your child’s age and readiness, then can either advance to another program or continue with Music Foundations as long as they like.

No problem! They can continue with additional Foundations sessions to build more skills and confidence before transitioning to private lessons. We have the potential for 2 years of Foundations curriculum, so it’s built for students to be able to take lessons when then turn 5 years old, all the way until they’re 7 years old. Or, if they start when they’re 5, 5 ½, or 6, they can transition earlier.

No, all instruments are provided during the class. However, practicing at home with household items (like using a box for percussion) can be beneficial.

Yes! Some sessions include a performance opportunity where students can showcase their progress in a fun and supportive environment.

If your child is 5 or 6 years old and enjoys music and movement, this program is a great fit! No prior experience is necessary.

We will provide materials and guidance to help them catch up, and they can still participate in the next session. However, there are no make-up classes or refunds for group lessons.
