What is MUSICOLOGY?

Music is the one activity that lights up all areas of the brain.  Research shows that early exposure to music plays an important role in wiring the brain for reading, math, language, social skills and learning.  At the same time music helps develop motor skills, steady beat and rhythm! 

MUSICOLOGY is an enhanced music program designed specifically for newborns through 4-year olds.  Parents and caregivers are along for that important one on one time with their child, while an experienced teacher orchestrates the fun! 

In a fun and engaging atmosphere, children will explore musical instruments, creative movement, dancing and singing.  They will be exposed to beats and rhythms spanning different eras and various parts of the world.

How does MUSICOLOGY      differ from other programs?

MUSICOLOGY has partnered with New Directions Institute For Infant Brain Development (NDI), founded by Dr. Jill Stamm.  NDI is nationally acclaimed for its work in educating caregivers with the neuroscience of brain development during the important first three years of life.  Dr. Jill Stamm is also the noted author of the best-selling book Bright From The Start - The Simple, Science-Backed Way to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind From Birth to Age 3.  For more information about New Directions Institute please visit:

What age should a child be to 
attend MUSICOLOGY classes?

Classes are divided into developmental age groups designed specifically for newborns through three-year-olds:

* Infant Rhythms (newborn - 6 months) 
* Baby Beats (6 months - 16 months)
* Mini Mozarts (16 months - 2 1/2 yrs)
* Beethovens (2 1/2 yrs and 3 yrs old)
* Family Music (6 mos - 3 yrs)

Age appropriate musical themes explore rhythm, melody and steady beat from different cultures all over the world.  Our experienced teachers orchestrate the fun while Mom/Dad/Caregiver enjoy the interactive time with their child.
