Put on your pajamas and join us for a playful music adventure! This free, interactive class introduces children to the joy of music through activities inspired by the Carnival of the Animals by composer, Camille Saint-Saëns.
Your child will explore movement, singing, dancing, focused listening, and hands-on instrument play in a warm, engaging environment that supports early childhood development.
We have three different times for different age groups. Please select which fits your child’s age: toddler, pre-k, or mixed ages for families that have kids in both groups. Families with only toddlers or only preschoolers are encouraged to register for the class specifically designated for their child’s age group.
Class sizes are limited to keep the experience personal and engaging, so register today! Come experience family music at Bella Noté Music Studios.

Our Footsteps in Music for Toddlers is the first group of classes in the Pathway to Music Literacy through Musikgarten. We offer new themes each semester throughout the “walking years” until children are ready to move up to Adventures in Music for Preschoolers (usually around age 3). The skills developed and practiced through playful activities in the Toddler & Preschool years are applied to a specific instrument and built upon as students begin to read music in later classes.
“Nature’s Music”: Move and sing while learning about creepers & crawlers, buzzers & singers, jumpers & hoppers, swimmers & leapers!
Ages: 3-5 years

Our Adventures in Music for Preschoolers is the second group of classes in the Pathway to Music Literacy through Musikgarten. The themes in this class follow the changing of the seasons throughout the year and prepare Preschoolers to move into the Music Pathways at the Piano or another group instrument class. The skills developed and practiced through playful activities in the Toddler & Preschool years are applied to a specific instrument and built upon as students begin to read music in later classes.
“Summer”: In the summertime, sweet memories are made of nature’s music. Whether it is listening to the night voices of crickets and frogs croaking, sudden thundershowers, animal voices, or campfires crackling as children toast marshmallows – all these sounds bring summer to life.

In this engaging 6-week summer session, young students will begin their musical journey in a fun, supportive group setting. Designed specifically for ages 4–5, this class introduces the fundamentals of piano playing through a multi-sensory, developmentally appropriate curriculum. The entire group learns together in a structured, step-by-step format, while still supporting each child’s individual needs.
Students will explore the sounds of the piano, develop aural skills such as listening, matching pitch, and identifying musical patterns, and connect with peers through songs, movement, rhythm games, and hands-on activities. They’ll also experience the joy of ensemble playing and build confidence by performing for one another in a friendly and encouraging environment.

Students learn the basic foundations of flute playing through folk songs and ensemble playing. Learning the fife is great for little musicians who want to learn the flute later.
