Youth and Pre-K Music Classes

At Create More Music, we believe in the power of music to inspire, nurture, and shape young minds. Our youth and Pre-K music classes are designed to provide a fun and engaging environment where children can explore the world of music, develop their musical skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for music.

Music Classes For Children

Music classes for young children are a great way to help build fine motor skills, cognitive development, enhance communication skills, and build healthy social skills, too! Children who learn music show better patience and resilience, and build better mental health, self-awareness and prioritization skills. Learning sounds, beats, and rhythms can help in all areas of life, including academic subjects like math and language arts to social and listening skills. Introducing music to young children is a perfect way to set them up for success throughout their childhood.

Youth And Pre-K Music Classes

In Pre-K music classes, children can focus on a variety of concepts and subjects that are fun, engaging, and age appropriate. Activities can include singing, creative movement and dancing, clapping, tapping, and using simple instruments to play along. Along with developing listening skills, kids can learn the basics of beats and rhythms, the fundamental component to all modern music. Often shakers, tambourines, and various kids’ percussion instruments can be used to illustrate ideas and engage the kids further. Additional items like kazoos, recorders, or whistles can be part of the curriculum, while employing strict cleanliness protocols to prevent transmission of germs.

Learning music is proven to sharpen mental acuity and those who had music lessons as a child show an average IQ of 10 points higher that those who never studied music. Learning music as a child leads to higher test scores and better mental health. Starting early is a great way to help children develop both social and academic skills that will ensure success in school and work later in life.

Build self-confidence

Learning music is a perfect way to build confidence by overcoming challenges and reaching goals.

Improve communication skills

Music is a language and requires listening, phrasing, articulation, dynamics, and using vocabulary.

Sharpen mental acuity

Playing music uses key brain functions, keeps us mentally sharp, and works our mind like a muscle.

Delay cognitive decline

Music has been proven to help us maintain peak mental sharpness and delay cognitive decline.

Have fun!

Playing music releases chemicals in the brain that make us happy! Have fun and play the songs you love.
