HAPPY children learn best!

Music Kid's Way firmly believes that children's fullest potential can only be tapped when they are happy doing what they do. A holistic and well-rounded music program for preschoolers to build solid fundamentals, Music Kid's Way aims to embark each child on the enchanting and lifelong journey of discovery, imagination and creativity in the world of music.

Designed and developed for the purpose of LEARNING THROUGH PLAY, Music Kid's Way programs are highly interactive, hands-on, engaging and fun. Creativity, imagination and discovery is strongly facilitated and encouraged. Children will learn about music and music-making through instrument play, pretend play, games, songs, movement, dance, art & craft, story-telling, dramatization, jam sessions, and computer games.

With a generous supply and variety of musical instruments - common and unique, homemade and professional, hand-held and big, along with common kitchen ware and utensils, children will be exposed to a wide variety of instruments, musical styles and genre, as well as cross-cultural musical knowledge and experiences. Singing, making music together is a staple in order to build confidence and promote creativity. Given the wide exposure, children will be empowered to further develop their own musicality based on individual inclination and interests.

Music Kid's Way currently offers regular classes for 2-3 and 4-6 year olds. Music camps are offered during Singapore's public school holidays.
