About Musik at Home
The Musik at Home Membership and Musik at Home Academy courses provide a rich foundation in music during the most formative years of your child's music aptitude. With exposure to rhythm patterns, tonal patterns, and movement in the context of imaginative play, children gain life long musical skills as they learn to understand the language of music. Starting with the early childhood classes, your child will be ready for the instrumental courses that will take them to the next level!
