At Yellow Bird Music, we’re passionate about nurturing children’s love for music and helping them explore their creativity. With our upcoming “Colors of the Rainbow” session starting January 6, we know parents may be wondering which class is the best fit for their child. From age-specific group classes to private lessons in various instruments and even musical theater, there’s something for everyone. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect class!
1. Group Classes by Age: Building Musical Foundations
Chicks (3-18 months): Our Chicks class is designed for lap babies, crawlers, and early walkers, offering a sensory-rich environment where they can discover sound and rhythm with a parent or caregiver. This class introduces children to the joy of music at a young age, fostering early bonding and social skills.
Tweets (18 months-3 years): Perfect for toddlers who are eager to explore movement and sound, our Tweets class encourages active music-making, with plenty of singing, dancing, and rhythm games. Parents participate too, making it a fun experience for everyone.
Birdies (3-5 years): In our Birdies class, children attend independently, helping them gain confidence and independence in a playful setting. They’ll explore musical concepts, work with instruments, and start to understand basic rhythms and melodies, all while having fun with their peers.
