Tiny Fiddlers move, dance, sing, and "fiddle" on foam violin replicas ($18 one-time addtl) to lively folk songs. Children get a great start learning music by ear, practicing violin position and care, singing jovial songs, playing with rhythm sticks, dancing with scarves, and developing both fine and gross motor skills through eye/hand coordination games and exercises. Caregivers are encouraged to participate, helping to support the child's learning while modeling inclusion, engagement, boosting confidence, and having fun together! This is a joyous class, full of musical explorations that enrich a child's development. Tiny Fiddlers is an on-going class that many families take repeatedly!

Come rock your socks with us!
