Little Rockers
EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC LESSONS
Little rockers is our general music program for kiddo’s aged 5 TO 8 years old.

Throughout this curriculum, we play while we learn about rhythm, harmony and working with other musicians to make rad music! In this program we learn trash can percussion, ukulele, singing, keys and body percussion. It’s super fun, and the perfect introduction to music. During the 30 minute session we move quickly between a vast number of musical activities to keep things spicy for those active little minds.
Especially at this age, our main goal is to help our students develop a love of music, and a confidence to be able to adventure into the wonderful world of music. We believe that if we form this first, our students will find it far easier to learn music as they have already developed a joy for it. This program is designed to gently begin introducing musical concepts to them through games and musical adventures, allowing the group lessons for ages 8 years and above to flow perfectly out of this program.
