Little Lessons – PreK and Young Learners

Little Lessons represents a groundbreaking approach to private music education tailored specifically for our youngest musicians. The genesis of this program occurred when we observed the younger siblings of our students eagerly peeking into lesson rooms week after week, yearning for their own opportunity to experience the joy of making music.

Designed as 20-minute sessions, Little Lessons offer a unique musical experience ideally suited for Pre-K and Early Reader aged students. Led by our expertly trained teachers, these sessions provide just the right amount of early elementary music education to foster a love for music in our youngest learners.

During Little Lessons, your teacher will engage students with a variety of activities designed to foster musical understanding and enjoyment. Using a blend of instruments brought into the lesson or those already available at home, students will explore rhythmic concepts, learn basic ukulele chords and strumming techniques, and participate in movement and sing-along exercises. Interactive games centered around early music education tools will add an element of fun and engagement to the learning experience.

Additionally, students will be introduced to both classic and contemporary composers, as well as early learning methods on the piano, among other musical elements.

The impact of Little Lessons has already been felt on our stages, from our popular Kids Open Mics to formal recitals. Tailoring instruction to meet students at their individual levels, Little Lessons have seen students mastering the C chord on the ukulele, shaking maracas in rhythm while singing Spanish songs, and confidently playing simple tunes like “Hot Cross Buns” with guidance from their teacher.

Little Lessons are now available for your convenience, whether in the comfort of your home or through virtual sessions lasting 20 minutes. It’s remarkable to note that many young students have embarked on their musical journey as online Little Lesson participants, never having met their teacher in person. Witnessing their achievements has been truly inspiring.

Your Little Lesson teacher may suggest method books that emphasize the use of color and numbers to introduce music, particularly for students who are still developing their reading skills. This approach ensures a tailored learning experience that accommodates various learning styles and abilities.

Little Lesson students have started as young as three years old- so try out a Fit Session with us this semester and let’s see if your little one is ready to make some music!
