Songs for Seedlings

Songs for Seedlings is a wonderful beginning for you and your little one to connect and grow together. Early childhood music not only bonds babies with their caregiver, fostering a multitude of essential developmental milestones like language development, active listening fine and gross motor skills, emotional regulation, and so much more. Come get comfortable and confident singing with your child, together, and on your own.
Singing With Saplings
Approx. 12-36 months
A truly wonderful musical experience to have together! Toddlers are discovering something new every day, and singing, swaying, shaking, playing, tapping, dancing, and drumming are all excellent ways to practice cognitive skills through music concepts. In this parented class, saplings develop confidence and thus creativity - techniques like repetition, call & response, audiation, and experiential learning all support their natural stage of exploration within structure
Music Explorers
Ages 3-5 yrs old
An excellent first unparented experience that feels safe and keeps them busy! We sing, move, play, and groove using a diverse range of instruments and manipulatives to understand different timbres and sounds. Many of our songs & games guide students to think of and confidently offer their own ideas as they learn to respond independently through the music. I incorporate SEL (Social/Emotional Learning) and ASL (American Sign Language) as much as possible to further their ability to communicate and express themselves. Children are learning multiple music and developmental concepts through activity and reinforcement, and also awareness of each other with positive interaction. This is a wonderful small-group experience for children also entering larger classroom settings. This is a great way to introduce music in a positive setting that encourages curiosity and appreciation of music in all forms.
Piano Prep Pals
Ages 4-6 yrs old
Give your little musician the perfect introduction to playing piano! Small group classes for ages 4-6 yrs old teach the important fundamentals essential to a strong and successful start with the instrument. Using our SMART (Socio Emotional/Movement and Manipulatives/Aural/Rhythm/Theory) blueprint to structure the course, students will regularly participate in songs, games, and activities to reinforce key music concepts as they apply to the piano. Dynamic expressions, keyboard geography, and quality tone production will all be introduced while further developing rhythm, pitch, beat, and listening/analytical skills.
