Our teachers are passionate about music and the development of young children.
They create a fun, informal, social setting that spurs engagement and supports each child's musical development.
Our teachers have successfully completed the Music Together® teaching workshop developed by the Center for Music and Young Children, Princeton, New Jersey.
