program Description

Elemental Music is thrilled to launch our Early Childhood Music Summer Session! Music classes are SO important for babies and young children. Why?

Listening and participating in musical activities from an early age stimulates the brain and improves a child’s cognitive brain functioning. This includes developmental skills such as fine and gross motor control, language development, auditory perception, memory, and attention.

Music classes also engage connection, communication, imagination, creativity, and bring joy to all who participate!

Email Program Director Sherry Luchette for more information and with questions!
