Early Childhood Music & Movement Programs: Ages 3-4
Give Your Child the Gift and Benefits of Learning Music!
Early Childhood Music and Movement programs offer a unique approach to teaching music to children between the ages of 3 and 4. Our goal is to introduce foundational concepts of music in a creative, fun way that captures the attention of young learners. We believe that music is an integral part of childhood development, and our program provides an engaging experience that fosters a lifelong love of music.
Our approach is based on the belief that all children have the potential to be musical. Our experienced instructors are passionate about helping students develop their musical abilities in a positive and inclusive environment.

The Benefits of Music Education for Young Children
Music instruction offers numerous cognitive, behavioural, and developmental benefits. For example, group music instruction often involves collaboration and activities that help children learn to communicate and cooperate with their peers. These group interactions foster a sense of community and belonging.
By participating in the program from a young age, children build a strong foundation in music, which can lead to a lifetime of musical exploration and enjoyment. Studies have shown that early music education positively impacts cognitive development, language skills, and social-emotional growth.
In a group setting, children also learn to work together and communicate effectively—essential skills for any musical ensemble. This environment fosters a sense of community, encouraging children to appreciate and respect each other’s abilities and to collaborate in creating a cohesive and enjoyable musical experience.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is parent participation mandatory?
In our Early Childhood Music programs, parent participation is an important aspect of the program. This allows parents to actively support their child's music learning and be fully engaged in the class.
Typically, we ask for parents to be present in the classes for the first 3–4 weeks to ensure students feel supported.
What age range is the children's music program for?
Our music and movement programs are designed for students between the ages of 3 and 4. Typically, after 4 years of age, students will move into more instrument-specific programs like Group Piano.
What types of musical instruments will children learn to play?
Students in Early Childhood Music and Movement Programs are introduced to a variety of instruments such as shakers, triangles, bongos, claves, timbales, boom whackers, xylophones, pianos, ukuleles, handbells, tambourines, bells, and much more.
How often are the music classes held and how long is each class?
Classes are 45 minutes in length and take place on the same day weekly.
Are there any prerequisites or prior music experience required to join the program?
Nope! Students do not need any previous experience to join the program. This program is designed to give students an introduction to music in a fun and engaging way.
How can parents get involved and support their child's music learning?
You can best support your child by being fully present in the classes. We find that children progress at a faster pace if their parents are fully bought in and invested in the program.

You can sign up for Half-Note Heroes through the Online Learning Management System or contact any of our Education Advisors via email or telephone: 905-787-2090 or lesson@cosmo.ca.
