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!
