Our children’s group music classes are a fun and engaging place to introduce your child to early musical concepts such as basic rhythms and matching pitch. Each of our highly-qualified instructors have a degree in music or the equivalent in performance experience. In addition to experience and education, you can feel assured that your child will be in a safe environment, as all our faculty are required to have an up-to-date clearance by the Provincial Child Abuse Registry. We keep our class sizes small, allowing your child to interact with their instructor, and benefit from the friendly, supportive, close-knit group environment. Make friends, find community, try out a new instrument, and have fun making music together!
Our downtown Winnipeg music school offers group music classes for kids at our location on the University of Winnipeg campus in Bryce Hall (directly east of Wesley Hall-the “castle” building) in addition to various satellite locations, such as Scout Coffee (1199 Rothesay Street, Winnipeg).
