FAQ

What age should a baby start music class?

Any time after about 4 months. Most programs accept infants from birth, and the parent-and-me format means nap schedules are the only real constraint.

Are music classes worth it before age 2?

If your goal is a weekly outing with rhythm, movement, and other parents — yes. If your goal is musical skill, wait; the benefit at this age is social and language-building.

Drop-in or session?

Start with drop-ins ($25–$35 at most providers above) until your child likes the format, then commit to a monthly spot for consistency.
