Free Open House: Intro to Music for Kids

Looking for the perfect way to introduce your child to music? Join us at CMC for a free Open House, where young students ages 4–7 can explore in a fun and welcoming environment! Each session includes an overview of CMC and our programs, followed by short demo classes. Families will rotate through different classes, giving each child the chance to try them all!

This is a great chance to try out a class before our Winter Quarter begins.

Demo Classes for Ages 4–7:

Younger students can enjoy a playful introduction to music, rotating between two 25-minute group sessions:

• Music for Children – Engaging exploration of musical concepts through song and movement.
• Intro to Piano – Hands-on fun with keyboards in our Piano Lab with Zahra Rothschild. (Piano classes are designed for children ages 5–7, however 4-year-olds are welcome to give piano a try, remain in Music for Children or leave a bit earlier.)
