Animal Adventures Private Program (1:1)

The Animal Adventures material is impossible not to love. Each level is jam-packed with rich story-telling, cute characters, and silly shenanigans. We use the beautiful and mysterious worlds of animals to spark a passion for music and give kids a head start that they can’t get anywhere else. Not to mention, over 1,800 stickers are woven into the Animal Adventures “homework” (can we really call it that?) that our students complete each week. Think less homework, more arts and crafts, and music fundamentals. We are excited to help your child immerse themselves in the world of music!
