Music Discovery Classes

Designed for children's first exposure to making music.   These special small classes are limited in size to 3 - 6  students, ages four and five years old, so parents don't have to worry about the influences of older children.

Most parents wish to get their children involved with music as early as possible.   Often younger children are not ready yet for traditional private music lessons. We designed these classes  around the needs of younger students, they are visually stimulating, and full of fun activities. 
​
Students will get to explore a world of music that involves singing, bodily movement, playing instruments, and reading music. Through playing many song-based games from around the world, our young students learn the basic concepts of tempo, dynamics, reading pitch and rhythmic notation as well as playing a variety of age appropriate instruments.

Each  class starts with a review of the previous weeks practice song, has a game-based learning activity, and a new song for students to practice at home. 

Upon registration you will receive a bag   containing an assortment of  instruments and a music stand so you can practice at home. Be sure to bring it with you each week!

We know that kids get sick and families take vacations. Unlike other class programs we offer Unlimited Make Up Classes,  with no advance notice requirements, so your child doesn't fall behind!

If the student is doing well, they can easily move to private lessons. Likewise, if it is determined that they are not yet ready for private lessons, they can easily move back into the Musical Discovery program!

As with all the instructors at Fort Myers School of Music, the class instructors are college educated musicians, and specialize in early childhood musical education. This is a true education program, not a daycare.

We teach the Whole student!
 
Our young Discovery students get to experience a wide range of musically themed learning.  In addition to learning basic music concepts and even reading music, our students also practice songs that teach counting, pattern recognition, and language skills.  Our intimate classroom environments ensure that your student gets direct instruction with our teacher and also gets to develop their social skills with other students in their class.
