group music classes

Offerings

With over 15 years of early childhood music experience, Miss Rachel developed these group music classes with inspiration from Music Learning Theory, Kodaly, and Dalcroze music education methods. Her goal is to provide an engaging, musically rich class and to give caregivers the confidence to incorporate music into their daily lives at home.

Students and their caregiver move, create, and express themselves musically in each class. Participants use shakers, scarves, rhythm sticks and more to find a steady beat and sing songs to discover their voices. Both classes include movement to classical music in addition to the singing of classic folk and modern children’s songs.

Class sizes are intentionally small - this allows for more individualized attention and keeps the environment calm and conducive to learning. Each child (or siblings for a family) must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the class. This not only helps engagement, but it also allows caregivers to learn and take the skills home during the week. 

The first class for new students is free and discounts are available for siblings and when you register for both winter & spring sessions. More information on pricing is available in the studio policies. Check out our FAQs for more specific details.

  • …meet for 30 minutes and the class is for children who are not yet walking independently. We will learn songs with wiggles, bouncing, lullabies, and finger plays (such as This Little Piggy Went to Market).

    The caregiver will hold baby on their lap or while standing and moving to the music. Older babies are free to crawl and roll in the space - bringing your own blanket is highly recommended.

    Classes meet in 3 week sessions to better accommodate the ever-changing schedules of the first year or so of life. Miss Rachel has a one year old herself, so the difficulty of scheduling around naps is fresh in her memory! There is a discount for multiple session registrations.

    Siblings who are too old for this class are allowed on a case by case basis - email Miss Rachel before registration if this applies to you. 

  • …meet for 45 minutes and is for children who are walking independently up to 5 years old. We will stomp, sway, spin, and more to the music, so walking with confidence is important!

    The caregiver will move with the child and help them with percussion instruments. Classes for Winter and Spring 2026 meet in 6 week sessions; a discount is available if you register for both sessions.

    Siblings come at a discounted rate (siblings who cannot yet walk are free!)

  • Birthday parties

    …include 20-40 minutes of music, movement, and games tailored to the child’s age and interests. Themes include songs about nature, transportation, ballet, and animals.

    Choose from a pre-set theme or create a custom set of your child’s favorite music (contingent upon copyright usage). Specific pricing is available upon request.
