MUSIC CLASSES

CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

Music ignites all areas of brain development in children - intellectual, social emotional, motor, language and literacy - plus it's been proven to boost creativity, confidence, mental health, and emotional stability in children.

ESTABLISHED CURRICULUM

Our curriculum was developed by internationally renowned Lynn Kleiner - it's a tried-and-true music program for littles + their parents. We'll surround your child with others their age, catchy tunes, and we promise it'll get you and your little moving and grooving before long!

MINDFUL MOVEMENT CLASSES

PARENT + ME

Strengthen the physical and emotional bond with your child by moving together! This interactive class will allow you to take time out of your busy lives to strengthen your parent-child relationship through connected communication, love, and physical touch.

BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS

Movement not only promotes flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination, but also improves body awareness. Help your little one focus on the present moment in these engaging and fun classes!

ART CLASSES

Art allows your child to increase their hand-eye coordination, boost creativity and concentration, as well as learn to take risks in their projects. We've made our classes process-focused (not product-focused) meaning there is flexibility in the outcome - which we think helps take the pressure off of a child as they create, because they know the value is in using their imaginations. Our classes are tailored to your child's age group, allowing the tiniest among us to explore sensory experiences, while our not-so-little kids can confidently create with open invitations to materials and resources.

  • We Love Midsommar!

    "The art and music classes at Midsommar have been such a gift to our family! Going through art camp actually made me a better caregiver to my daughter. The classes offered at Midsommar are great socializing opportunities for the little ones, and it's important for them to be surrounded by people that celebrate the process, not perfection. We love Midsommar!
    -Ashlee J.

  • Beautiful New Community of Friends

    "Midsommar Art & Music school is exactly what our local community needed. The teachers are incredible and do an amazing job teaching our kids to explore, create, and grow in themselves. I personally also really enjoyed going with my daughter to connect with the other parents and build this beautiful new community of friends. Trust me, this will be a local favorite for sure."

    Art Camp for my 3.5 y/o son was the perfect week and we weren't ready for it to end... Everyday not only made him feel special and cared for, but it warmed my heart. Thank you for making this week so special for he and I.
