ABOUT US

 

Buds & Beats offers an opportunity, for both kids and parents alike, to play, sing, laugh, and make friends, in a fun and relaxed environment.



Buds & Beats was created as an easy, fun and interactive class for parents and kids. The weekly 45 minute program features crafts, activities, games, songs, homemade instruments, and more, that will encourage children to explore creativity and develop a love of music.

 

The program was designed with the idea that parents and kids could go home and replicate everything used in the class. If an instrument is played in class and the child loves it, with very little time, effort, and money, the parent can make the same instrument at home with their child.

 

Buds & Beats is unique in that we are focused on the interactions that take place in the class between children, parents and children, and with other parents. These connections produce a fun and relaxed environment that allows kids to learn with each other and create music together.
