Instrument Explorations for the Very Young

PAS offers Musical Explorations classes for young children. Aligned with the natural development of children to experience their environment and begin to express themselves, children are introduced in a hands-on way to a range of musical instruments. Classes encourage and foster their musical, intellectual, and emotional growth. Explore our exciting new program, Out of the Box Music, with Summer Magical Musical Adventures for ages 3.5 to 4.5!

Pathways

Group learning allows the student to explore the performing arts in a warm and encouraging environment along with their peers. Pathways classes are limited to 8 students and are an excellent entry point for studying a musical instrument. These fun 50-minute group classes engage students in playful rhythms, movement, melodies, and musical activities while developing the skills necessary for performance: posture, concentration, coordination, and correct technique. Parents will be actively engaged in this process while being guided in creating a natural, relaxed home environment for their child’s practice that is both fun and musically rewarding.
