Here at Mini Musicians Studio we believe that music education isn't just about learning a new skill or hobby, but it's about a student building 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙉𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎, 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙁𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙏𝙔.
We've found that one of the best ways to reach children through music education is through modern instruments and technology-- this is why we focus our classes on guitar, ukulele, and music production with GarageBand.
We're so excited to welcome your kiddo into the Mini Musicians community!
