family music classes

Music for Everyone classes offer musical activities that are playful, interactive and educational. Using songs, storybooks, puppets, games, percussion instruments and folk dances, early childhood music teacher Jana Vitols disguises music education in a costume of play. She shares her enthusiasm for music, accompanying classes on violin, banjo and guitar.

2-5 year olds and their parent/caregiver are welcome to join the upcoming music series that starts, Wednesday March 27 @ The Lakewood/Seward Park Community Club! Wed & Th 10 & 11am classes currently have a few openings.

Invited, you are.

Our master class, taught by Arts In Motion's own "Jedi Musicians" will help you. Students are welcome who are already enrolled in music lessons and who want small group help. Ask questions, learn new techniques, and get to know new resources in your community.

Saturday January 12 & 19, details are here
