What Kids Experience
Beachside Music Lessons & Therapy offers an interactive and creative environment for kids to learn and practice acting, singing, and dancing in this 10 week class! Our goal is to introduce kids to the fundamentals of theatre and acting through fun-filled classes, while encouraging: social skills, collaboration, and creativity. The lessons taught go beyond the theatre and will have a positive impact on whatever our young students choose to do in their lives.
Here's ...
When you learn in a small class, you gain so much more than learning to play an instrument! Watch your student learn and grow while making new friends. Our group lessons build confidence, bolster brain power, boost social skills, cultivate patience and discipline, encourages creative self expression, and improve memory.
Our Small Group Classes ensure your child gets the one-on-one attention they need in addition to the space to work through new skills and songs. It's the perfect combination in learning a new instrument. Music is always more fun when you play it with friends!
Our Small Music Therapy Groups offer students an opportunity to explore music making, learn new skills, increase social skills, speech, gross and fine motor skills, academics, and more. Music Therapy Groups are based on goals specific to the participant's needs. Contact Us for more info about our Music Therapy Groups.
Not ready for group classes? We offer online and in-home music lessons and music therapy that will help build your confidence and skills in a warm and supportive environment.
