A New Type of Music Class for Children & Toddlers

This preschool music program in Pasadena for ages 3-6 gives students a head start in music in a FUN way! Unlike other music lessons for students this age, this program by Animal Adventures in Music teaches a robust, comprehensive curriculum, covering topics from rhythm to note reading to instrument introduction and exposure, all through games, activities, and fun weekly homework. Lessons in an individual, one-to-one format (one teacher, one student) give students the ability to move at their own pace and explore their own interests. The private one-to-one feel of the program ensures that no child is rushed to grasp a concept, and they can take their time exploring the world of music and have a blast while doing it! We chose this curriculum because not only does it teach kids the basics of music theory–it also tells engaging stories. While learning about the mouthpiece of the flute, students are simultaneously working with Bianca the Bee to find the missing flute pieces stolen by some pesky ants.

What’s Included in Our Music Classes for Kids?

The classes are split into three sections–Table, Rug, and Stage. Each section is 10 minutes long and jam-packed with fun and learning.

1. Table Time: The student and teacher work together to learn and practice new concepts using their Animal Adventures workbook as well as other resources such as a music staff whiteboard and flashcards.
2. Rug Time: The student and teacher meet on the Animal Adventures music staff rug for practice in note reading, rhythm, and musical expression. This high-energy segment of the class solidifies concepts for young students utilizing fun backyard-style games and silly role-reversal variations.
3. Stage Time: This final segment of the class is spent in hands-on exploration, listening, and learning about one of the ten instruments that will be covered.

Schedule and Tuition

Lessons are available in 30, 45, and 60-minute sessions and occur once each week. Tuition is $189/month for 30-minute sessions (appropriate for most students), $283/month for 45-minute sessions, and $378/month for 60-minute sessions. Tuition includes all lesson materials, books, a tote bag, and a beautiful, spinning medal upon passing each level. Recitals are also included for interested students. It takes most students approximately 60 weeks to complete the entire program and graduate to private instrument or vocal lessons.

Prepare Your Child for Private Lessons

By the time students graduate from this program, they’ll be ready to begin private music lessons in the instrument of their choice (as long as it is appropriate for their age). No matter what instruments they study going forward, they will have a tremendous head start and an extremely strong musical foundation for the rest of their life. Students’ minds are very easily molded at this age, and our goal is to instill critical music foundations, knowledge, and a lifelong appreciation of music.
