Adult Summer Programs
This 4-week summer course for children (and their families!) introduces the joy of playing instruments, singing, and movement. With the help of simple songs, little ones will make new friends as families learn how they can continue the musical bonding at home.
This program was designed by music therapists and child development experts, and is taught by our own early childhood music specialists.
Have a foot-stomping, hand-clapping, drum-beating good time! Drum Buddies is a great first music or ensemble experience for young beginners. Students will gain an understanding of rhythm in a fun way – using hands, feet, household objects (plastic bowls, coffee cans), and percussion instruments. Drum Buddies will be different every session so students can take it multiple times in preparation for starting private lessons.
Beginners with no previous experience learn the basics of playing piano and music reading skills, plus engaging group activities using supplemental rhythm instruments and movement.
Have you always wanted to play the piano? Join a like-minded group of adults in this casual weekly class. You’ll learn the basics of keyboard technique and music reading, and learn to play easy songs in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. A piano or 88-key touch sensitive keyboard is required for at-home practice.
