Musekids Musica & Dansica is the academy’s music program specifically designed for early child music and dance for the little ones. We have variety of parented classes that create numerous experiences that promote growth in a many developmental areas, provide opportunities for socialization, and encourage a love of music and dance.

​

The Royal Conservatory of Music has noted that recent research has found that “Increasingly, music and the arts are being recognized as crucial intellectual building blocks in the early years, closely linked to such cognitive functions as verbal-linguistic development, spatial reasoning, complex problem solving in math and science, and the development of emotional intelligence. This holds especially true in the early years of a child’s development.”

​

Smart Start™ is a curriculum designed for children ages 0-5, developed by the Royal Conservatory of Music in collaboration with neuroscientists and the RCM's most accomplished music educators with over 60 years of combined experience in early childhood education. The Smart Start™ Program was created to nurture the core developmental traits of reading, memory, and IQ through music education.

​

​

With this in mind, the Musekids Musica program uses a variety of activities and materials to create an environment that caters to different learning styles.  We introduce children to some basic music terminology, create opportunities to play instruments in an ensemble, connect the rhythms that they play with the language of books and expose them to a variety of music genres.  Each lesson includes many opportunities for overall development.

Some of the many benefits of music for infants and toddlers are:

1. Language / Vocal Development

2. Brain Development

3. Muscle Development

4. Social/Emotional Development

5. Musical Development

6. Bonding Between Baby and Parent
