Under the umbrella of the Ontario Early Childhood Music Education Association and The Royal Conservatory of Music, BMA is dedicated to ensuring every child receives the rich cognitive and developmental benefits of music education from the earliest possible age. Weekly participation provides a solid musical foundation, setting the stage for cognitive development, increased confidence, and creativity in babies and toddlers.

Babies Class (0 - 18 months) Tuesdays 10:45 am -11:30 am

Enjoy rhythms and rhymes, learn some new lullabies, and have fun with your little one! Children are naturally curious about music from a very early age, and the positive atmosphere of this class helps foster lifelong connections with music, and builds strong parent-child emotional bonds. The goal of this course is to expose you and your child to the basic concepts of music through sensory awareness and active participation, with particular attention paid to beat, rhythm, and listening skills.

​

You and your child will start to learn about the fundamentals of music through movement, singing, and play. The course is designed to foster basic cognitive skills through a musical framework and to help parents and caregivers learn ways to interact with their child through music. A typical class begins with a greeting song, followed by gentle bouncing games, fingerplays, movement, and playing with instruments. The class concludes with lullabies or other songs for all to enjoy. One parent or guardian accompanies their child for the full course.

​

Toddler Class (19 - 36 months) Tuesdays 9:45am - 10:30am

Confident, active toddlers become confident, active adults! Set your child on the right path by engaging them in music and movement-based play. This class focuses on developing gross motor function in toddlers by encouraging them to move their bodies in time to sounds and music.

​

At the age of 19-36 months, children are beginning to develop more complex cognitive skills that will aid them later in life. These classes focus on cognitive skills relevant to music, such as sustaining attention, remembering songs, and recognizing perceptual cues. Children in these classes will learn how to apply these skills toward musical exploration and gain greater musical independence through basic musical skills. At this age, parents or caregivers assist their child’s musical creativity and gain further skills for musical interaction with their child. One parent or guardian accompanies their child for the full course.
