Early Childhood Music Tenafly NJ | Toddler Music Class, Pre-K Music Class

Areté Music Academy offers an extensive selection of group classes to young children and beginning students. We believe that it is crucial to provide developmentally appropriate music education to children at a young age. Through singing, listening, moving, instrument playing, and other guided activities these classes lay the groundwork for further musical study as well as a lifelong involvement in music and the arts.

Areté's Early Childhood Music classes are offered in three 10-week semesters (fall, winter, spring) during the school year. Each semester includes 10 classes.  We are located in Englewood Cliffs and minutes from Tenafly

Fall 2013  Class begins September 16
