There is no better way to celebrate the magical moments of the young child than through the joy of music. So many of your baby's special moments fly by so quickly. Music can enhance and magnify the joy of these magical moments through touch, sound, movement and musical celebration. Together, you and your child can experience the true meaning of community in a musical environment.

Just as important, research has proven that music study and participation from birth to age 10 can give your child the academic edge in reading, math and other skills associated with reasoning. Without the proper simulation, after age 10 the musical windows in the brain begin to close and musical learning can become more labored and difficult.

The Music Institute is proud to offer the most comprehensive and varied Early Childhood Music curriculum in Central Kentucky!

6-week session begins June 8 (no class July 6); enrollment limited to five students

If you are considering piano lessons for your young child who has no prior training, this is the class for you! In a group of five or fewer children, students focus on rhythmic development, finger individuation, note reading and keyboard basics. No prior experience is necessary for child or parent, making this an excellent way to determine your child's readiness for further musical study.

12-week session begins June 11 (no class July 2); enrollment limited to five students

This class is designed for graduates of Petite Pianists: Beginners who are not yet ready for private lessons or slightly older beginners with no experience. It picks up where Petite Pianists: Beginners leaves off, including more time at the piano and brief weekly one-on-one sessions with the teacher. At-home review becomes more important at this stage, and students should have a good grasp of the alphabet and numbers 1 through 5 before enrolling.

6-week session begins May 18

This popular Musikgarten class uses folk songs and nursery rhymes to help infants, toddlers and preschoolers meet important developmental milestones. This class offers what current research tells us young children need -- movement, interaction, repetition and exposure to cultural customs, presented in a playful way!

Especially designed for families with more than one child, this Musikgarten® class is an opportunity for siblings to explore movement and music together.  In  addition to offering lots of wiggle-time, this class uses nursery rhymes and folk songs to develop imagination and creative thinking.

12-week session begins June 11 (no class July 2)

A class especially designed for preschoolers, Cycle of Seasons addresses age-specific goals and musical development while teaching children to observe the world around them.

Watch your child become a marine “expert,” as they learn about sea creatures and nautical life through this Musikgarten® class.  They will make instruments and crafts to take home, as well as expanding their imaginations during story-time and creative play.  The structure of music helps them to structure their own thoughts and movements, internalizing the musical concepts of rhythm and shape.

All class tuitions will be pro-rated for those who join after the start of the semester

Enrollment for Petite Pianists classes closes June 18
