Explorers Classes

Our Explorers classes cater to our youngest learners and their caregivers who are ready to have an early experience with music. Offered in blocks of fifteen weeks, two times a year, these classes are a cost-effective and low-stakes introduction to music learning for families who are looking to build a musical foundation or get to know the process of learning an instrument through musical games, basic techniques, and creative activities in a social setting.

In String Explorers, young learners with no prior experience and their caregivers have the opportunity to try violin, viola and cello, choose one of the three instruments, and spend several weeks learning the basics on the instrument through inquiry-based creative approaches involving both the kids and grownups. This class works best for kids ages 4 – 8 years old and their caregivers. The class currently meets weekly on Wednesdays from 5 to 5:45 p.m.

The Ukulele is a great starting point for any small child wanting to play an instrument. It’s easy to hold, easy to play, and there’s a lot one can do with it: chords, melodies, percussion, etc. In the Ukulele Explorers Class, kids aged 5 to 8 (exceptions allowed!) and their caregivers are invited to learn the basics of Ukulele playing through a series of fun games, sing-alongs, and other activities. The class currently meets weekly on Saturdays from 9:00 to 9:45 a.m.

Fam Jam is a musical offering for our youngest explorers. Similar to Music Together or Kindermusik, Fam Jam is a class in which the youngest children (age birth to 5 years) are welcome with their caregivers for a 45-minute session of singing, movement, music games, and storytelling. Meeting Friday mornings from 10:00-10:45, this class allows participants to build upon foundational musical skills from the earliest ages while strengthening bonds with caregivers and having FUN!
