How children learn
Children learn best by doing.
Music Makers classes are inspired by the philosophy of Carl Orff and Orff Schulwerk, where children experience musical concepts through singing, movement, dancing, instrument playing, improvisation, and play.
There is no pressure to perform and no grading or judgment. The goal is to help children experience music with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
