Music for Children

Sally’s Music Circle

For infants through age 5 and their parents/caregivers. Each class consists of songs, activities and instruments that young children love — fingerplay, egg shakers, sticks, scarf dances, lullabies, play-alongs and more. Wear comfortable non-restrictive clothing and be prepared to sing and play with your children.

Sound Journeys for "middle age" children

Expression, exploration and playfulness. We sing songs and chants, use movement to develop rhythm and we play percussion instruments. Early activities are improvisational and fun. The journey is more important than the destination.

Sound Journeys is a gentle transition between joyous music-making in early childhood and the more formal experiences starting in elementary school. Sound Journeys addresses children’s music learning readiness in a respectful, non-intimidating and non-judgmental way. It is a dynamic and inclusive group experience that values and validates each person’s contribution.
