At Music and Play COS, we use the award-winning Music Rhapsody curriculum, developed by early childhood music expert Lynn Kleiner. Rooted in the Orff Schulwerk philosophy, these classes are designed to feel like play—while building a strong foundation in music and learning.
Each session is filled with joyful, hands-on experiences: singing, dancing, instrument play, puppets, props, and stories that spark imagination. Children learn rhythm, listening, coordination, and expression—all while having a blast.
Our Music and Movement enrichment program brings this creative, research-backed approach directly to your homeschool group, elementary school, preschool, daycare, or community program. It’s education through music, made easy and unforgettable.
Our Music and Movement classes are a perfect fit for homeschool families looking to add arts-based enrichment to their week. Designed for ages 0–11, each session invites kids into a world of rhythm, melody, and movement—encouraging social connection, body awareness, and a natural love for music. Whether you're part of a co-op or coordinating an enrichment day, we bring all materials and tailor the experience to your group’s age range and flow.
For early elementary enrichment, our Music and Movement classes offer a lively and engaging break from the standard classroom rhythm. We partner with schools to provide short-term or ongoing programs that align with early learning goals—fostering listening skills, coordination, pattern recognition, and expressive movement. All classes are play-based, inclusive, and led by a credentialed early childhood music educator.
We specialize in music and movement for ages 0–6—making us a natural fit for early learning centers, daycares, and preschools. Classes are filled with singing, dancing, instrument play, and imaginative storytelling that support language development, motor skills, and emotional expression. Whether you’re looking to add weekly enrichment or host a one-time music event, we bring age-appropriate joy and structure that kids (and teachers) look forward to.
From YMCA programs to city recreation centers, we collaborate with community-based organizations to provide fun, educational music sessions for kids of all ages. Whether it’s a drop-in class, a 6-week series, or a summer camp add-on, we make it easy to incorporate high-quality music experiences into your programming. We handle all the setup and curriculum so your team doesn’t have to.

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.
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.
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.

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.
