About
Musical Beginnings is an early childhood music and movement program where children take part in singing, movement, listening, playing, and creating music. Classes include developmentally appropriate activities and are described as a time for joyful music-making that also lays a foundation for future musical experiences such as choir, piano, and other instrument lessons.
