Providing a haven where JOY of God, JOY of Family, and
JOY of Music Making is experienced.

We believe that music and movement experiences have a significant impact on the development of the whole child. Through music, a child builds listening skills, concentration, dexterity, and memory. Research continues to support the premise that music improves a child’s overall learning and self-esteem. We are dedicated to providing a rich, integrated musical environment which will establish a climate for learning and will give families something meaningful to share and cherish.

At our studio, Early Childhood Music at Trinity, you’ll have a great time seeing your child’s coordination and social skills develop through activities like:

Singing * Creative Movement * Playing Instruments * Musical Games * And More!

Our goals are:
• To promote music education in our community.
• To generate enthusiasm for music through positive experiences and excellent teaching.
• To provide activities and experiences for children at their developmental level of readiness.
• To create a nurturing environment that enables children to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
• To affirm and support parents of young children while facilitating positive family interaction.
