Kinder music lessons

Music is a language and it is never too early to start to learn. All children are musical beings. They are born with an aptitude for music and the most critical time to nurture a child's musical development is from birth to age nine. Our popular Kinder Music program introduces 2 to 6 year old children to music with creative musical games that stimulate faster brain development and improve listening awareness, fine motor skills, social interaction, self-confidence through working with others and hand-eye coordination. The most important part is your children will have fun in the process of learning and will develop an appreciation for music!

Group or semi-private instrumental lessons violin, vocal, piano or keyboard

Playing an instrument is a valuable and life long skill. Developing this skill is time-consuming but can be a lot of fun for the child and the entire family!

Group instrumental lessons have many advantages including playing ensembles, peer motivation, experience performing in front of others, and fun. We strive to provide more than a "see the dot, or press the button" education in music. >

Playing an instrument is similar to learning a new language; it takes practice to get it right. Without practice, learning to play properly is very hard. We provide your child with a strong foundation in singing and movement before starting an instrument. Keep in mind that learning to play an instrument, like learning to dance or play a sport, takes time-weekly practice and many years to become proficient. A younger child will require more parental participation. An older child may have more self-motivation, but will still need encouragement to practice. Establishing a regular routine of practice and reaching goals can be an important part of the child's development. The earlier you start, the easier it is to make music a part of your weekly schedule. Our weekly semi-private lessons for violin and keyboard in our Lilia's Music School will help your child to achieve their goals.
