Early Childhood Classes: Fall 2025
At Music House, we believe that it’s never too early to nurture a love for the performing arts. Our early childhood classes are thoughtfully designed to introduce young learners to the magical worlds of music, dance, and theater. With engaging, play-based activities led by experienced educators, students explore the arts in a warm and supportive environment. These classes provide the perfect foundation for developing essential skills like listening, self expression, coordination, and teamwork—while inspiring confidence and sparking joy.
Whether your little one is just starting to explore the arts or is communicating a strong interest in singing, dancing, acting, or instruments, Music House is a great place to stART.
Music Together: Ages 0-5
Music House offers Music Together® classes to infants, babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers up to the age of 5 at our Humboldt Park studio.
In Music Together®, children and their caregivers sing, dance, and explore musical instruments in a 45 minute structured class. Music Together® classes aim to foster familial bonding and love, while developing the child’s love and ability to make music. Music Together® classes also help children develop in other areas, such as literacy, self-expression, and aural and motor skills. Music Together® classes open up the world of music for your child through playful, developmentally appropriate activities. Best of all, kids and adults have lots of fun!
Music Department: Ages 3+
We offer both private and group class options for our littlest of learners! While some students benefit most from one-on-one instruction, others at this age do better in a group setting among their peers! Stay tuned for many more pre-k group class options coming this January!
Private Lessons: Ages 3+ can take piano, ukulele or violin private lessons!
In private lessons, students attend a once-per-week 30 minute lesson where they receive individualized attention from their teacher. Students move at their own pace and have the benefit of a lesson tailored completely to them! Parents are encouraged to attend private lessons, as they are the “At-Home Teachers” and will learn how to help their child practice at home.
Pre-Piano: Ages 3-4
Students will weave movement, singing, and piano-games and activities within each lesson. Students will be able to use small keyboards in the beginning stages and learn how to care for their instrument, finger numbers, finger coordination and how to orient their fingers to the instrument based on 3 black keys versus 2 black keys.
