WHY START YOUNG? Research shows that starting young (between age 0-6) is critical for establishing the lifelong musical and linguistic skills of singing in tune, keeping a steady beat, and having accurate pronunciation in more than one language. Our family music class is a great place to build these skills in a LOVING and PRESSURE-FREE environment.
