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.
