Family Music Classes
San Marcos, CA

Ages 0-5 are the sweet spot for music learning—your child's brain is like a sponge for rhythm, melody, and sound. Our classes build three key skills: a steady internal beat, a well-trained ear, and confident musical expression. Through singing, dancing, and playing instruments, they're forming neural connections that set them up for a lifetime of joyful music-making.
