Instrument Adventures

This is the perfect age to explore new concepts, and Instrument Adventures has exciting opportunities to dive into music! We’ll explore melody, rhythm, and the properties of sound while also learning how music can make us feel. Your child will have the chance to play various fun and unique instruments, including flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, and a selection of World Music instruments.

Beyond music, this class is a chance to teach valuable lessons in politeness, respect, sharing, and cooperation—essential life skills that help children interact positively with others. It’s not just about learning to play instruments but also about developing social skills and a love for music that can last a lifetime.

Why we love Instrument Adventures:

Things To know:

  • Both parents are welcome to join.
  • Parents must stay on-site for the duration of class, and may choose to participate or watch remotely.
  • Registration open until 1 hour before class.

Instrument Adventures FAQ

• Both the Musical Playground and Instrument Adventures series encourage children to explore music through singing, dancing, cuddling, and play. Both also emphasize parent participation to create a shared music-making experience.

• Instrument Adventures adds an educational component, introducing musical concepts such as sound, pitch, rhythm, and melody. Additionally, the program includes two craft days where children make their own musical instruments to take home!

Because of the educational aspect, we recommend that children be either enrolled in a preschool setting or already comfortable sitting in a circle, listening, contributing to discussions, and taking turns. Some 3-year-olds are very verbal and engaged, while others may find these activities challenging—please use your judgment based on your child’s development.

  • Throughout the 8-week program, children will explore a variety of instruments, including violin, guitar, ukulele, trumpet, trombone, piano, xylophone, flute, clarinet, and various world percussion and sound-effect instruments.
  • While children will get hands-on access to most instruments, those involving a mouthpiece (trumpet, trombone, flute, clarinet) will be demonstration-only for hygiene reasons.

  • No. This is a parent-present class. You are welcome to sit off to the side if you prefer, but you must remain onsite for the entire class.
  • Parent participation makes the class more fun and engaging, so we encourage you to join in whenever possible! If your child needs guidance, we ask that parents step in to help them stay focused and engaged.
