Early Childhood Music Classes
(AGES BIRTH - 5)

Picture of Child at the Flint School of Performing ArtsNurture your child’s musical ability in this fun, exciting and innovative music and movement class. Early Childhood Music gives you and your child the opportunity to creatively explore a variety of musical ideas and possibilities, all while encouraging genuine enthusiasm for music at your little one’s most vital time of development. You also play an important role in this fun and interactive class. Each child receives a tote bag with a CD and other musical equipment.

The Early Childhood Music Program is based on the Gordon Music Learning Theory. To find out more about the approach, please visit www.giml.org/earlychildhood.php.

Classes are 45 minutes in length. Three different classes provide age-appropriate experiences for your child:

Beginning Music Makers  ages birth-36 months

Intermediate Music Makers  ages 13-36 months

Advanced Music Makers  ages 3-5

Once you’ve completed Advanced Music Makers, you’re ready for the next step–Young Musicians Class. For more information, contact the FSPA Office or call 810.238.1350 ext. 3.

Current studies, like The Gifts of the Muse: Reframing the Debate about the Benefits of the Arts by the Rand Corporation, show that the arts are an important building block for learning and development. Exposing very young children to music can later help in the development of basic reading skills.
