We are so glad you’ve stopped by! At Altitunes we strongly believe that music is a force for good in our community, relationships, and in ourselves. We have personally experienced the positive effects of music in our own lives and want to share music with the wonderful people around us.
Starting with Beboppin Babies, we’ve had the privilege of watching the bonds formed between caregiver and child. We have been lucky enough to see kids take their first steps in the Melodious Movers class! We love providing opportunities to grow and explore music as the kids enter their toddler years with instrument playing, singing, and moving to music in Toe Tappin Toddlers and Polyphonic Preschoolers. It’s awesome to see kids grow and begin to learn the foundations of music in Music Makers. In addition to the growth and enjoyment we see in music class, watching families meet and form friendships through their music classes is one of the most rewarding experiences we can think of!
We have personally experienced the joy, community, and life skills learning to play an instrument provides. Which is why we provide music lessons for kids to learn and grow as musicians and people. Music has been formative in our development in that we’ve developed an enjoyable lifelong skill, resilience, confidence, teamwork, creativity, and great friendships! We work to provide the same experience for everyone who enters our doors. We know that while they are there to learn an instrument, music has the potential to have a profound positive impact on their lives in so many ways!
