Music Fun for Kids !!
Kindermusik Musicians is a two-year curriculum designed for children aged 4.5 to 7 years old. It serves as a bridge between early childhood music exploration and formal instrument lessons.

- 8 weeks - $240. - Weds. - 3:30-4:30
- Instrument Exploration: Over the two-year program, children explore and play the glockenspiel (a pre-keyboard instrument) in the first year, and the dulcimer (stringed) and recorder (woodwind) in the second year.
- Music Literacy: Students learn to read and write musical notation (rhythmic and melodic), understand musical concepts (piano/forte, legato/staccato), and compose their own music.
- Pressure-Free Approach: The program focuses on "play-based learning" that is developmentally appropriate, encouraging a love for music before starting formal, sometimes demanding, individual lessons.
- Whole-Child Development: While building musicality, the program strengthens cognitive, physical (fine/gross motor skills), social, and language skills.
- Duration & Structure: Usually 60-minute weekly classes, often with caregivers joining for the final 10–15 minutes.

- Year 2 : Continues with more advanced ensemble playing, music history, and introduction to the recorder and dulcimer,
