Music 'n Motion Classes

3 year old plays the piano solo in recital.Our Music 'n Motion classes are exciting for students age 3 and 4 years.  Students and their partner enjoy singing, piano, movement and rhythm instruments.  

  • Children begin to learn musical concepts by 'rote.' 
  • The teacher draws musical patterns of whole, half, quarter notes or rests on their white board, the children draw those same on their white boards, then we take it to the piano to play it. 
  • Our Music 'n Motion students also draw treble clef notes of do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti and high do. 
  • Children learn to 'track' those notes on the keyboard.  
  • Because of the repetition in these classes, most students learn how to read music by age 4 1/2.  
  • A parent or guardian attends lessons with the child. 
  • MnM classes are fun and fast-paced, as musical concepts build upon concept.  
  • Class lesson time is 45 minutes once per week. 
  • Classes are on-going, requiring one month advance termination notice (see our full termination notice)
  • New students may join the classes at any time based on availability of openings
  • Our Music 'n Motion classes set the stage for a successful Kids 'n Keys adventure beginning sometimes as early as 4 years old.
