Sing, Dance and Play with Us!
Early childhood is the perfect times to nurture children’s natural musicality and to encourage singing, moving, and playing with sound. Music inspires creative movement. It calms at rest time. It fosters listening skills. Through music children can learn about patterns, rhymes and new vocabulary.
Our music teachers are all unique in creating playful environments that are musically rich and allow children to engage in music as an exploratory activity, one that is interactive, social, creative, and joyful. This is just what young children need to develop a love of music!
Join one of our fabulous music teachers for a super fun, joyful and enriching music activity. From drumming to singing, dancing and instrument play, all of our music classes at Books and Cookies will delight your little ones! Classes are 45 minutes, open to all ages and $20 at the door (or specialty class package compatible). Sibling are always 1/2 off. All activities at Books and Cookies are drop in and first-come first-serve for the first 13 families and require an adult in attendance. Please arrive early to guarantee your space.
