Group music classes are an excellent choice for young children and beginners of all ages. Students who learn together each week gain confidence, stay motivated and experience the joy that making music together inspires.
Winter Session starts January 10, 2026.
Make lasting musical memories with your child, exploring a wide range of sounds and instruments, and learning new songs and rhymes. An awakening to the magic of rhythm, vibration and sound – in short, to music!
Intro to Music classes are the perfect first step in every arts-education journey. They help create a foundational understanding that gives a leg up moving into formal music or dance lessons, while also setting the stage for a life-long, joyful relationship to music.
For over 25 years, Emmanuelle has been making music and creating projects for children in museums, schools, daycare centres and at various festivals. Discover her project, Tigouli!

New and different from our other Intro to Music classes, this class offers a fun and engaging introduction to music, inspired by the Orff and Dalcroze approaches. Children explore rhythm, melody, and musical expression through a variety of percussion instruments and resonator bars. Singing, rhythmic games, and body-percussion activities help build listening skills, coordination, and musical creativity.
