Music Makers is One of a Kind

Music Makers is an early childhood music program designed to encourage exploration, learning & growth for children of all abilities ages 2-5 years old in preparation for kindergarten readiness. Each 30-minute class is chock full of original and familiar songs that engage your child’s senses and encourage language development, & socialization through structured music making, instrument exploration, singing, movement and singable stories. Classes are designed to prepare children socially and emotionally for structured learning and enhance their Kindergarten readiness in a natural, fun and engaging way.

Developed by our founder and board certified music therapist, Bonnie Hayhurst, Music Makers classes include LIVE music sung with guitar accompaniment to maximize the opportunity for in the moment adaptations of tempos, keys, on the spot songwriting, singing, vocalizing and movement.  Music is one of the most natural and age-appropriate ways young children learn and develop and we want every class to support each child’s exploration of the music, their peers and themselves.

Music Makers is Inclusive

At The Groovy Garfoose, we believe music is for everyone, no exceptions. Music connects us to our bodies, our voices, our emotions and our needs and each person’s needs are important. No matter the need, we make sure each person feels welcome and safe to explore the music and the instruments in a way that feels engaging for them. Each class is designed to provide predictability while also allowing for flexibility and autonomy within the structure of the group.
