Our Music Classes
We offer age-specific early childhood music classes for parents with babies age birth to 36 months, parents with toddlers age 3, as well as for children ages 4, 5, and 6 years old in non-parented classes. Through these classes, babies and children grow up learning the language of music through fun and effective age-appropriate methods.
Music education is important for babies and young children
Research shows that infancy is the time when music has the most impact, leading to better language skills, improved concentration, increased confidence, enhanced social skills, better performance in school and high IQ’s later in life. The impact that music has in early childhood development is the foundational core for all our programs.
Our music program is special
We provide families with a unique and unparalleled early childhood music curriculum that has been developed through years of collaboration by accomplished early childhood educators in the Universities Of Saskatchewan and Alberta. We use the very principles and techniques developed over more than a century by Zoltán Kodály, Carl Orff, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, and Dr. Shinichi Suzuki.
We are not a franchise and have set a very high standard in teacher qualifications, classroom materials + size, music repertoire – every aspect that demonstrates to parents that they are receiving the best music education for their children. Our teachers are professional early childhood music educators and musicians who strive to foster a love of music in children.
Our classes initiate and nurture the development of musical skills in infants and children by engaging the mind as well as the body through a mixture of singing, chanting, dance, playing percussion instruments as well as games and musical expression using whole body movement. These fundamentals combine to create the perfect music education for any child from birth to 6 years, and then beyond into private instruments as they pursue their love of music.
