What is Sound Beginnings?
KEYBOARD (4-6 year olds with parent participation)
If your child can sing in tune and keep a steady beat, he or she is ready for instrumental instruction. Our curriculum teaches aural skills are taught along with technical skills and students learn to play by ear before music notation is introduced. Children and their parents learn together in a group of up to six families.

Develop many musical skills that are easily transferred to other instruments.
Each class is 45 minutes.
