CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
At Music Magic, all our programs are designed for children (and adults!) to explore music and it’s benefits in a fun and engaging atmosphere. Our programs are developmentally age appropriate and encourage musical growth with a multi-sensory approach. A parent or guardian is required to attend and participate for all programs, except for Music for Little Einsteins. Come experience the Magic of Music with your little ones!
MUSIC MAGIC I (ages 3 months to pre-walking, plus parent)
This interactive program is a wonderful way to introduce the Magic of Music to your little one and to stimulate their natural response to music! Together you can enjoy nursery rhymes, songs, floor and lap games, creative movement and music-making using instruments designed for babies. Come experience the Magic of Music!
MUSIC MAGIC II (ages walking to 23 months, plus parent)
Together, child and parent participate in engaging songs, dances and musical activities that encourage singing, keeping a beat, instrument exploration and creative movement. Activities also promote gross motor, listening and language skills. Social skills are fostered through turn taking and sharing activities. High-quality instruments are used in addition to puppets, stories and colorful props to make this a very special musical and magical time!
MUSIC IN MOTION (2 to 3 years, plus parent)
In this class children and parents take singing, dancing, and instrument playing to new heights! Solo singing is encouraged to develop listening and pitch-matching skills. Musical concepts such as high and low, soft and loud, up and down are taught through music games, activities, and instrument exploration. Through sound imitation, object identification, and rhyming, language skills are promoted. Creative dancing to many differing styles of music encourages the development of spatial awareness, balance, and sense of rhythm. Come delight your senses!
MUSIC FOR LITTLE EINSTEINS (4 to 5 years, no parent)
Music for Little Einsteins will encourage vocal development, language skills, coordination, social interaction, and creative play. Through musical games, creative movement, dancing, instrument playing and singing, your child will develop a deep-rooted appreciation and love for music. Give your child the gift of music!
COMBO CLASS (families with 2 children of varying ages, plus parent)
This class is designed for families with more than one child and who would like to bring both children to one class. This is a fantastic opportunity for the younger children to be inspired by what the older children are doing. In addition, it is great for the older children to learn from the younger children. They witness the development of the younger children from week to week that is difficult to observe if in a class with only their peers. They take pride in being a musical role model for the younger children. This is a unique learning model for everyone involved and is a great way to spend time as a family. Each class is carefully planned depending on the mix of ages and group dynamics to provide positive learning experiences and musical growth for every participant. Bring the gang and have a blast!

Younger siblings are welcome to attend class as long as they are able to remain in a car seat, or in a carrier. We are happy to accommodate this arrangement as long as there are no major disruptions to the class environment. Once the younger sibling is needing to move around or if there are disruptions to the class, please consider taking advantage of our Combo Class which is designed for families with more than one child.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
If your child puts instruments in his or her mouth, please set these instruments aside so we may clean them to help prevent the spread of germs.
If you or your child is sick, please make use of our Make-Up Classes (see below) that we offer and come another day when everyone is healthy.
