The majority of classes are on individual basis, with several options for learning in a group context. For your convenience, lessons are offered in our studios or in your home, or can be arranged at the private school your child attends.

Mommy & Me:
Because it has been shown that musical experiences are important during the first three to four years, the European School of Music & Art runs group classes we call "Mommy and Me" where children develop rhythm, pitch, concepts such as high and low or fast and slow, use their voices and internalize sounds. This helps the child internalize the precepts of music and prepares them for learning to play an instrument.

It is really not just about music or art - it's about enhancing your child's intellectual capabilities. Music, language, and art do make the difference! Significant and very credible research has confirmed the positive effects on academic, mental functioning and social skills that result from a music education. Music is a skill that improves with age. Whether children continue their music later on in high school, church choir, community orchestra or just as a relaxing way to relieve day-to-day stress, an early music education now is a healthy investment in your child's future.

Recent research has proven that musical potential is best developed at the younger ages, when readiness for learning music is at its peak. Though, it is true that any time is a good time to take up music. The fact, however, remains: the earlier the better. Beyond it being a wonderful skill for any child, new research shows how learning music can help your child in so many more ways:

- Improves reasoning capacity and problem solving skills
- Improves mathematics and language performance
- Enhances memory and cognitive capacities
- Helps develop greater social and team skills
- Develops speech, reading and listening skills
- Fosters healthy self esteem
- Improves coordination
- Increases mental concentration
- It gives your child a competitive edge
