From the moment our little ones are born, music is a way to calm them down, make them laugh, smile, and stop the crying. A great way to build upon that musical bond is to partake in music classes. There are numerous music-based learning programs throughout Columbus that begin as early as pre-birth and go on until your children are grown. It’s a great activity to sign up for this Winter to help pass those cold days too!
Music Class Locations
We Joy Sing- They offer a variety of classes (from pre-birth to music therapy, to children up to the age of 12). The classes are all over Columbus, so head to their website to find a location that works for you. The classes are split up by age so that they can focus on key developmental milestones. Our girls have attended We Joy Sing since they were infants and look forward to each week. The winter classes begin the first week of January, so register NOW or for Spring!

Music Matters- Now serving two locations, this music class has several main age group levels. They offer a mixed age approach which is nice for families with multiple children. They also offer a class that is 0-8 months that provides a great focus on the babies needs. Their classes come with a CD so that you can practice and sing in the car and at home. They offer a free class trial as well. Check their website for Winter enrollment!

Sing Through the Ages: A new concept that incorporates intergenerational music and movement classes. The course is for 6 weeks and is very reasonably priced. Your children will learn about music through chants, poems, songs, creative movement and at the same time will be meeting adopted “grandparents” at the facility and dancing and singing with them. This is a great learning experience for your kids and will be sure to bring a smile to the faces of the residents. We are excited to try this one out this Winter! For more information, contact Joanie at her website. My kids love her! You can also find Joanie once at a month at Seeds of Caring events.
