Musical Beginnings is an early childhood music class that offers a musical experience for young ones infant to 5 years old. Each 45-minute class is designed for children and parents to interact together through movement and song. Research shows that music is learned when children are exposed to a wide variety of music before they can create it themselves. Musical Beginnings provides these opportunities in a playful, enjoyable environment for parent and child! Discounts for siblings.
