Music Discovery is a unique two-year program, specifically designed for children ages 5-7 to develop a solid foundation of musical skills.
Students learn together as an ensemble, as well as in small groups and as soloists
Exclu sive curriculum, based on Orff and Kodaly principles
Year One focuses on note reading, part singing, rhythmic activities, and introduces beginning music theory. Orff xylophones, hand drums, and other rhythm instruments are used in every class
Year Two expands on year one as children are introduced to each family of musical instruments, setting the stage for them to join a band or orchestra, such as with KeyNote’s San Diego Youth Symphony program
“The thing I’ve noticed the most in my daughter since starting Music Discovery is that she literally has more rhythm! Class songs that incorporate movement as well as ‘finding the beat’ exercises have really helped her grow. I’ve also realized she remembers ideas well through songs and I don’t think there is a more fun way to learn.
The positivity overflows outside of class. I notice her humming to herself at home and she is more interested in music in general. She has even mentioned wanting to play the violin one day, and I’m so glad she has this stepping stone opportunity.”

“Music Discovery is intentional and direct about the concepts and skills it is trying to teach.
As a musician myself, I’m excited to see my daughter taking those first few steps that I hope will lead her to picking up an instrument of her own and finding joy and fulfillment through music.”
