Early Childhood Summer Classes

Meet the Instrument
(2-6 Years)

Discover a new sound each class in June! Our Instrumental Discovery series offers high-energy, one-off sessions designed for summer flexibility. Each standalone class introduces a different professional guest artist and their instrument—from the strings of the cello and violin to the vibrant world of brass and percussion. 

Through hands-on demonstrations, movement games, and live improvised piano accompaniment, children "meet" the orchestra in a fun, commitment-free environment. Check our weekly schedule to see which instrument is visiting next! 

Sing Me a Story: A Musical Storybook
(3 Months-5 Years)

Turn the page and find the beat! In this 45-minute standalone drop-in, beloved children’s books are brought to life through a vibrant tapestry of song, sound effects, and creative play. Every session features a different literary adventure, where the narrative provides the "map" for our musical journey. 

Accompanied by a professional pianist who provides a live, responsive soundtrack, children and their caregivers will explore rhythm and melody through the lens of the week's story. From "tapping out" the pitter-patter of rain to singing the dialogue of favorite characters, this class builds early literacy and musical foundations in a joyful, communal setting. Whether your little one is an infant or an active preschooler, they will love being part of a story that they can hear, see, and sing. 

Family Music Jam: A Collaborative Concert
(All Ages)

Bring the whole family together for a 45-minute musical celebration! Our Family Music Jam is a standalone, drop-in class designed to get everyone—from infants and toddlers to parents and grandparents—making music side-by-side. 

Guided by a head music teacher and a professional pianist, this session transforms the classroom into a community band. We’ll dive into a mix of folk favorites, global rhythms, and playful improvisations. Whether you’re shaking a maraca, singing in harmony, or dancing with your little one, the focus is on the shared joy of the "live" experience. It’s a low-pressure, high-energy environment where every voice (and every rattle) belongs. 

Summer Art Studio
(2-6 Years)

Kandinsky’s Colors & Chords

Can you hear a color? Can you see a sound? In this 45-minute standalone session, we step into the vibrant, abstract world of Wassily Kandinsky. Known for his deep connection to music, Kandinsky believed that colors and shapes had their own unique "voices." 

In this art-focused class, young artists will explore how to "paint what they hear." As a professional pianist improvises live music, children will translate the rhythm, tempo, and mood into bold lines, geometric shapes, and a symphony of colors. Children will discover the magical intersection where music meets the canvas, resulting in a unique masterpiece of sight and sound. 

Pollock’s Action Painting

Experience the thrill of "action painting" in this art focused 45-minute standalone session. Inspired by Jackson Pollock, this class invites young artists to move beyond the easel and use their whole bodies to drip, splash, and splatter paint across large-scale canvases. 

Children will explore the connection between movement and ark-making, first with a dry project inspired by Pollocks works, then experiencing his classic drip paintings.  This multi-sensory experience celebrates spontaneous creativity and the joy of the process. 

Mondrian’s Rhythms

Discover the beauty of balance, lines, and primary colors! In this 45-minute standalone session, we explore the iconic world of Piet Mondrian. Known for his love of jazz and his "grid" style, Mondrian showed us how a few simple lines and colors can create a world of energy and rhythm. 

In this art-focused class, young artists will use tape, brushes, and bold primary palettes to build their own abstract compositions. As a professional pianist improvises steady, rhythmic jazz and "boogie-woogie" beats, children will learn how to organize their canvas into a symphony of squares and rectangles. Children will enjoy the satisfying process of creating order and vibrant patterns through art and sound. 

Infinite Dots: The Whimsical World of Yayoi Kusama

Enter a universe of endless patterns and playful imagination! In this 45-minute standalone session, we dive into the "Polka Dot Princess" herself, Yayoi Kusama. Known for her obsession with dots and repetitive patterns, Kusama uses art to show how everything in the world—from pumpkins to people—is connected in a vast, infinite cosmos. 

In this immersive class, young artists will explore the concepts of repetition, scale, and color. Children will transform simple surfaces into bold masterpieces using stamps, stickers, and paint.
