Give Your Child the Gift of Music:
Why Early Childhood Matters
The early years - especially birth through age five - are a magical window for musical development. During this time, your child's brain is uniquely primed to absorb musical patterns, rhythms, and sounds in ways that build a lifelong foundation.
Why enroll in early childhood music and movement classes?
These specially designed experiences do more than entertain - they develop three essential musical abilities:
A strong internal beat - the foundation for all rhythm and coordination
A well-trained ear - for pitch, melody, and musical expression
Confident self-expression - the ability to create and communicate through music
Through joyful activities like singing, dancing, and exploring percussion instruments in a structured yet playful environment, your child builds critical neural connections during this optimal developmental period.
The result? Children who develop music literacy early are prepared for a lifetime of joyful music-making, whether that means playing instruments, singing, dancing, or simply appreciating music more deeply.
Starting young doesn't just teach music - it opens a world of creative expression and cognitive development that benefits children far beyond the music room.

Did you know that music is learned like a language? They even counted my advanced music classes in college as my advanced language credit. Language learning starts early. There is some evidence that language learning even begins in the womb as fetuses develop hearing and begin to be bathed in the sounds (language) around them. Parents are encouraged to communicate with their babies as soon as they are born. Talking to your child helps their brain decode language and learning begins. Music is learned the same way. The more you communicate musically with your child, the more chance they will become fluent in the language of music. Parents often don’t know where to start with this. Most are doubtful in their own abilities and think they are inadequate from experiences they may have had growing up. I’m here to tell you, you have what it takes to give your child the best musical start possible. Let me be your guide and we’ll do this together.
