Music Rhapsody by Lynn Kleiner
Music is natural to kids, and the Music Rhapsody Program embraces that ethos by instilling a love for music that will last a lifetime with these unique music classes for kids. Take a look below to learn more about Music Rhapsody.
Lifelong Learners
Music Rhapsody nurtures a deep love of music by providing a fun, age-appropriate environment for children to express their natural musical tendencies. Each age group will have a variety of instruments and activities. As they grow with the program, the level of difficulty will increase, and their joy for music will too.
No Toys Found Here
In our music classes for kids, younger children will play quality percussion instruments like triangles, hand drums, and maracas that are developmentally appropriate. Older kids will begin playing barred instruments (glockenspiels, xylophones, & metallophones) which help in developing their sense of pitch, tonality, and playing as a group.
Learning Made Fun
Based upon the proven “Orff Schulwerk” methodology, our children will be immersed into music they will love. Diving right into real music keeps attentions while providing a structured environment for them to learn.

The Fundamentals of Music
With the Music Rhapsody program, children will hear and interact with a wide variety of tonalities, tempos, and styles along with being exposed to a variety of classical music. Simple visuals are presented in the older classes which represent beats and sounds on the beat in preparation for music notation. This exposure provides a solid foundation for further, advanced lessons.
