Group Classes

Piano Klass Kidz at Cadek

Piano Klass Kidz provides an accessible small group and one-on-one format for children ages 6 to 8 who are learning piano. This structure builds self-esteem and confidence and paves the way for traditional music lessons and beyond. 

Research in early childhood music education has shown that group instruction not only imparts basic music skills, but also provides an enjoyable, stress-free environment for learning. This program enables students to learn and develop skills in a group setting, helps them connect with their peers, and serves as an excellent preparation for the next step in learning music—private instruction at Cadek. 

Piano Klass Kidz Upcoming Terms
This two-year program is designed specifically for students 6 to 8 years old. Students participate in 45 minutes of weekly instruction in note reading and music development. During each class, technique, theory, repertoire, and ensemble work are emphasized. A recital at the end of each term allows students to showcase their newfound skills and achievements with family and friends. 

Enrollment for each class is limited to six students, and classes are available for new and returning students.

Early Childhood Music Classes

Step into the rhythm-packed world of "All That Jazz!" This fall, our early-childhood music and movement classes are swinging with excitement as we dive into the toe-tapping beats and soulful melodies of jazz music. Whether your little one is a Tiny Tune (6-12 months), moving at a Toddler Tempo (12-24 months), is a budding Little Maestro (2-3 years), or ready for Musical Adventures (4-5 years), there's a class that's perfectly tuned to their age and energy level.

In Tiny Tunes and Toddler Tempos, parent and child will explore jazz through gentle movements, interactive play, and soothing melodies that engage and delight our youngest musicians. Little Maestros and their parents or guardians will be grooving together to more complex rhythms, learning basic musical concepts through imaginative play, and developing coordination through fun dance routines. For our adventurers in Musical Adventures, the semi-drop-off structure allows preschoolers to explore their independence as they discover jazz instruments, experiment with different sounds, and collaborate in creative group activities.

Join us this fall as we harmonize, improvise, and jive our way through "All That Jazz!" Each class is designed not only to foster a love of music but also to nurture social skills, creativity, cognitive development, and the parent-child bond in a playful and supportive environment. Let's make music together—because in Cadek’s early-childhood classes, every parent is the child’s first and best teacher and every child is a musician in the making!
