Classes consist of musical play interactions—singing, chanting, and moving—led by a teacher with specific training in early childhood music.

Parents and Caregivers

…are active participants in music classes.

…do not need to have any particular abilities – only a willingness to learn and try.

…also learn and grow musically through their interactions with their children in class.

…can take what they learn in class to add to musical play at home.

Centers-Based Early Childhood Music Classes

We also partner with area organizations to offer music play classes in daycares, preschools, community centers, and other settings. For more information on our partners and these programs, please contact the MSU Early Childhood Music Play Laboratory Director Karen Salvador at ksal@msu.edu.
