Music Time With Friends

Building early literacy through every beat and rhyme.

Get ready to sing, shake, and shine! In this joyful class led by Licensed Music Therapist Emily Bevelaqua, little learners and their grown-ups will explore the magic of music while building strong early literacy skills.

Each week, we’ll bring songs to life through instrument play, silly rhymes, movement games, and interactive music-making—thoughtfully designed to boost vocabulary, rhythm, and phonological awareness (that’s a fancy word for sound play and early reading skills!).

Research shows that music lights up the brain for learning, and we see it in action every day—smiles, giggles, and growing confidence included. 

Make music, make memories, and make friends!
