A music education program for very young children, their parents and/or caregivers. Classes include an artistically conceived flow of songs, movement, nursery rhymes, instrumental jam sessions, and finger plays. These activities help children develop rhythm and tonal skills. Three 10-week sessions throughout the year, in fall, winter, and spring at several CMSP locations, as well as a 6-week summer session. Please see calendar for session start dates.
