Early Childhood Music Classes
Music and Movement Classes for Young Children (0-6 years)
Early exposure to music and movement is at the heart of music readiness classes. We emphasize structured play, combining music and movement in activities designed specifically to enhance the developmental capabilities of young children and promote bonding between caregiver and child.
Off-site class information
Early childhood music classes are also available in child care centers. Please ask about having a Rhapsody teacher travel to your child’s daycare or preschool.

Toddler Tunes (18mo-3yrs, with caregiver)
Repetition of familiar tunes, dances, and books stimulates the toddler’s musical learning. By absorbing new melodies and predicting the movements that will accompany them, young children are more easily able to soothe themselves and develop critical listening skills. Come share this time with your toddler while singing and dancing to your favorite songs and learning new ones as well.
