Does your child love to drum, dance and sing? Our Rhythm Kids® classes by Music Together tap into how big kids are wired to learn. Music games, rhythm pattern play, drumming, and more engage their creativity—and inspire them to explore their musicality in new ways. During each weekly, high-energy class, kids have a blast singing, dancing, and jamming to rhythms and tunes inspired by musical traditions around the world. Our specially trained teacher Jennifer Nickl leads group and individual activities that get students up and moving as they learn to compose, choreograph, and conduct.

U.S. Olympic figure skater Nathan Chen likes to unwind by playing the guitar and he has also studied piano. He says, “Music has definitely played a big role in my life. Obviously as a skater, we’re skating to music so being able to be comfortable with music, and truly enjoy it I think is key for figure skaters. Music has been really helpful in getting me in the right mindset...” Hear him play at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLtzDYdLO2M.

Dear students and parents: Now would be a good time to reiterate our snow policy.
First, we do not follow FCPS or LCPS schedules for snow days. Most music lessons happen in the afternoon and early evening when the day has warmed up and the roads have been cleared.
As you all know, regular lessons are essential for progress, so we will always be open unless there is an extreme blizzard. In the eight years we have been open, we have only had to close for weather twice. So, please always assume your lesson is happening at your regularly scheduled time unless you hear otherwise.
If we are ever forced to close, we will post it here. Please like/follow this page to assure you will get the message!
However, one thing we have all learned from the pandemic is that virtual lessons can be a good alternative when safety is a concern. Your individual teachers will contact you to set up this option when the weather is particularly bad. If you have any questions please email your teacher or us rather than call.

A word, now that children are getting vaccinated: There is no recording that can capture the sound of a live orchestra! If you want your children to love great music, make sure to take them!
Work started on the buildout of Music Spectrum School for the Arts during November 2012. But it really all started here, in the Eastman Theatre, in the love affair I have with great music that was birthed and nurtured by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

🙂 "Oh, I guess they'll let anyone in the med school these days," [said] one person responding to the high percentage of music students. In an unintended way, that person has a point. After all, not everyone who applies is so lucky to have the advantage of a musical background!

How can you help your child develop their intellectual potential and emotional health? Music Instruction is the answer! "The study shows music instruction speeds up the maturation of the auditory pathway in the brain and increases its efficiency...This system is also engaged in general sound processing that is fundamental to language development, reading skills and successful communication.”
Music instruction improves cognitive, socio-emotional development in young children
Music instruction appears to accelerate brain development in young children, particularly in the areas of the brain that are responsible for processing sound, language development, speech perception and reading skills, according to initial results of a five-year study by USC neuroscientists.
