The perfect activity for your music-loving kid.
Looking for a music activity that your kid will love?
You want your kid to learn music.
But maybe your kid isn’t interested in learning a traditional instrument, or taking singing lessons.
Or maybe your kid loves playing instruments, but doesn’t look forward to performing in front of strangers.
Or maybe your kid would rather learn to create their own music...but that’s not what traditional music programs teach.
It seems like your kid has no options and that can be frustrating.
Every week, we teach kids from all over North America how to make the music they love.
Kids log off of their video games and social media and log into our classes to discover and express their unique musical creativity.
Happy kids. Happy parents.
