Enriching the lives of our littlest treasures is one of the best parts of being a parent. Introducing our kids to music at a young age opens new horizons that foster creativity, learning and confidence early on in life. While many think infants and toddlers may be too young to benefit from music lessons, the opposite is true!
At Musicworks Canada, our Preschool Classes are designed to introduce music to young children and to help them develop independence, confidence, and foundational skills that support long-term success.
Music education doesn’t have to wait until elementary school. Starting earlier may be one of the best choices for your child’s development! Find out more below!
The Power of Early Music Education
Research shows that early music exposure stimulates brain development in remarkable ways. Infants have been shown to smile more, communicate better, and demonstrate more sophisticated brain responses to music. For preschoolers, music can support memory retention, improve spatial reasoning, and strengthen early language and literacy skills.
Best of all, the benefits aren’t just cognitive; music helps children develop rhythm, body awareness, patience, and listening skills. Starting early in life gives kids more time to explore and absorb these concepts in a fun, low-pressure environment, preparing them for more formal academics later on.
What Preschool Classes Teach
Musicworks Canada’s preschool classes are designed with intention and provide structure, age-appropriate lessons, and exercises that help introduce real musical concepts in ways that little ones can understand.
Unlike other programming, our classes aren’t just group playdates or sing-alongs (though there’s nothing wrong with those, too!). Children explore rhythm, pitch, melody, tempo, and dynamics. Through movement, games, stories, and hands-on instrument activities, they learn how music works, long before they pick up an instrument formally!
Each class is led by a skilled instructor trained to teach even the youngest learners using proven early childhood music methods. This structure provides the perfect mix of routine, creativity, and exploration.
Independence Builds Confidence
A unique (and sometimes surprising) feature of our Preschool A Classes is that parents don’t need to be in the room. For many young children, stepping into an independent learning environment is a powerful opportunity. It helps build their focus, sense of responsibility, and self-esteem—all within a safe and nurturing space.
With small class sizes and thoughtful instruction, even shy or hesitant children often thrive when given the space to learn on their own. It’s a chance for them to grow both musically and emotionally, gaining confidence in their abilities and their place in a group setting, all while under the careful (and safe!) supervision of our experienced instructors.
More Than Music: Life Skills That Last
What begins as clapping to a beat or singing a simple melody can lead to major developmental strides that help your child excel. Music reinforces routine, self-control, collaboration, and creative thinking—skills that are just as important in the classroom as they are on a stage.
Preschoolers who participate in music classes often show increased emotional awareness and social development. They learn to listen carefully, wait their turn, follow directions, and express themselves, all of which helps them as they continue to grow and develop!
