Areté Early Childhood Program offers an extensive selection of music classes for kids from age 2-5. We believe that it is crucial to provide developmentally appropriate music education to children at such young age. Through singing, listening, moving, instrument exploration, 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 Early Childhood Music Program are offered in four 8-week sessions (Fall 1 & 2, Spring 1 & 2) during the school year. Each session includes 8 classes. |
