Treble makers is a fun group where players learn to read music quickly, build solid tone and tonguing (“tu”), and develop fundamental ensemble skills. Over 12 weeks, we’ll play canons, ostinati, and short songs; practice steady pulse, entrances/cutoffs, and part-holding; and rotate roles (melody, harmony, drone). Designed for ages 4 and up. 
Please bring a recorder if you have one but they are also available for purchase at Melody Mart.

Imagine a world where tiny hands and big imaginations come together in the joyful exploration of music! As we gather, we are not just learning music—we are experiencing the magic of collaboration, creativity, and growth in ways that extend far beyond the sounds we make. In these sessions, every note, beat, and movement is an opportunity to learn, connect, and thrive in a world of sound.&nbsp;
