We're transforming how children learn to read music through playing and collaboration!
Instrument-oriented: mastering through doing
Collaborative: making music together
Ear Opening: exploring a myriad of musical traditions
Motivational:
driven by joy
Why is this important?
Too many children give up music before truly experiencing its true rewards. Our approach creates multiple entry points, ensuring lasting musical journeys for every kind of learner.
By reframing rigor through immersive exploration, we cultivate musical fluency that resonates with how children naturally learn. For newcomers, a placement assessment is required to ensure optimal growth and enjoyment.
