Toddler Sound Bath & Learn is a joyful, interactive music class designed for children ages 2-6, accompanied by their adult(s), to explore the world of sound in a small, nurturing group of up to 6 children.
Through hands-on play, listening, and guided activities, toddlers discover how instruments create sounds and how music can spark emotions, movement, and mindfulness. Led by skilled instructor, Graham Slick (Papa to a 3 year old), this class fosters creativity and connection in a cozy, supportive setting.
*If you feel your child may not be able to play mindfully, it may be best to wait and reevaluate in a few months.
