Early Childhood Keyboard Classes--Sound Beginnings!

An introductory keyboard class in which aural skills are taught along with technical skills and students learn to play by ear before music notation is introduced. Children and their parents learn together in a fun group class of up to eight families. Open to children ages 4-6.
If your child can sing in tune and keep a steady beat, he or she is ready for instrumental instruction. We use Rob's "Sound Habits" curriculum in which aural skills are taught along with technical skills and students learn to play by ear before music notation is introduced. Children and their parents learn together in a group of up to eight families.

Please call 860-646-3096 or email info@musicmakersacademy for the educational program guide!
