General Music Classes for 3-5 year olds

In addition to our regular Suzuki instrument curriculum, we offer “general music” classes for families who want children to receive an excellent, non-instrument specific music education.

General music classes are taught in a “Dalcroze style“, which includes lots of movement, joy, and discovery of musical topics such as form, phrase, theory, score reading and much more.

When are the general music class offered?

Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 3p

Classes are 30 minutes, include a lot of movement, and are packed with information!

Classes are ideal for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old. Siblings can attend the same class.

Many skills are covered, including ear training, intro to reading notes, movement, singing, and an intro to keyboard skills.
