Alphonsus Music Studio

Create memories and make learning fun in our music classes for babies and toddlers.

In my music classes for toddlers, babies, big kids, and families, we sing, dance, giggle, hop, travel on imaginative adventures, cuddle, play instruments, share ideas, read stories, celebrate the uniqueness of each child, and more! As a trained and licensed Kindermusik educator,  Alphonsus leads the class through music and movement activities with proven developmental benefits that include boosting early literacy and language abilities, social-emotional skills, cognitive development, and gives children many opportunities to practice fine- and gross-motor skills in a fun, loving community of families.

Level 3 Class is for your imaginative and curious preschooler (3-5 years). Each term combines your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language development and self-control.  The engaging theme in this level will develop your preschooler love of learning about the world around them.
