Early Childhood Music & Singing Classes
Welcome to the start of your child's musical journey! Arya Music Studio offers structured, age-appropriate group classes designed to build a strong musical foundation for preschool and kindergarten-age students in Sunnyvale. Our classes focus on developing essential skills like rhythm, pitch recognition & matching, ear training, and early vocal exploration in a fun, nurturing environment.
​
Why Start Early?
Early music education accelerates language development and cognitive skills. By building pitch recognition and listening skills now, your child will be better prepared for instrumental lessons and competitive voice training later.

Is your child ready for the next level?
​
Once your child has completed the Songbirds class, they can transition smoothly to our Beginner Voice class (RCM Group Prep Class).
Little Chirpers (ages 3 - 5)
This 6 session class is a playful introduction to music. Through a delightful blend of games, songs, and movement, children will develop essential ear training skills. They'll learn to differentiate between high and low pitches and identify various sounds in their environment through playful activities like sound-matching games. We'll also build core rhythmic skills, teaching them to echo simple rhythms and maintain a steady beat. Tonal singing is introduced sequentially, starting with "so-mi" and "so-la" before progressing to the full pentatonic scale.
Songbirds (ages 5-7)
The natural continuation of "Little Chirpers," this 12 session class builds on the foundational singing and musical skills. The curriculum emphasizes singing simple folk songs from beginning to end with memorized lyrics, focusing on developing a clear tone, accurate pitch, and a steady rhythm while singing unaccompanied. Students will sing as a group and will also be encouraged to sing short solos to build confidence. They will continue to refine their rhythm and pitch echo skills and will also be introduced to basic rhythm notation.
