Early Childhood Music Class: 7 Benefits Every Parent Should Know
At Joe Ferrante Music Academy in Monrovia, we believe that the right start makes all the difference. That’s why our Early Childhood Music class is thoughtfully designed to ignite creativity, build confidence, and lay a strong musical foundation. Whether your child is just discovering rhythm or already tapping out tunes, our Early Childhood Music program helps children grow in more ways than one.
Below, we explore 7 key benefits of Early Childhood Music that every parent should know — and why it may be one of the best investments in your child’s early development.
1. How Early Childhood Lessons Enhance Brain Development
Multiple studies have shown that children involved in an Early Childhood Music class experience enhanced brain activity. Music stimulates both the left and right sides of the brain, improving memory, attention span, and problem-solving skills.
At our academy, each Early Childhood Lesson combines structured rhythm games, vocal play, and instrumental exploration that engage the whole brain — setting the stage for lifelong learning.
2. How Our Early Childhood Music Program Builds Listening and Communication Skills
Listening is a cornerstone of both music and early learning. Our Music Programs for Preschoolers focus on ear training and rhythmic recognition to help young learners become better listeners — a skill that transfers directly into the classroom and daily life.
3. Encourages Emotional Expression and Confidence
Music offers children a safe and joyful way to express feelings.
Singing songs and exploring pitch 🎵Playing percussion instruments 🎵Moving to music and developing rhythm 🎵Learning basic music notation through games
Building listening skills by listening to songs
Through singing, movement, and instruments, kids in our Early Childhood Music program find their voice — and their confidence.
As children participate in group classes, they begin to understand themselves and others better, building self-esteem along the way.
4. Develops Motor Skills and Coordination
Clapping rhythms, dancing to beats, and playing percussion instruments all help improve fine and gross motor skills. In our Early Childhood Music class, we incorporate movement-based activities that support physical coordination — a key developmental milestone for young children.
5. Fosters Social Interaction and Teamwork
Our classes are built around group activities that encourage sharing, taking turns, and group participation. These early social interactions help children develop empathy, patience, and cooperation.
If you’re looking to expand on this, our group music programs offer a next step in community-based learning.
6. Prepares Children for Piano and Instrumental Training
Early music exposure lays the groundwork for more structured training, such as piano lessons for kids. When children develop ear training and rhythmic skills at an early age, they are better equipped to succeed when they transition into formal instrument lessons.
Learn more about our progression fromthe Early Childhood Music program to beginner piano lessons for kids by visiting our course overview.
7. Creates Lifelong Appreciation for Music
Most importantly, early exposure to music fosters a genuine love for sound, creativity, and artistic expression. This appreciation lasts a lifetime — whether or not your child pursues music professionally.
Our Early Childhood Music program is not just about learning; it’s about falling in love with music.

Nicest people in the world! I brought my niece for her first guitar and the teacher was great, along with the young lady who helped us out in the front. My niece is loving the lessons and I couldn't be happier about who amazing they are l, and the level of professionalism.

I started taking guitar lessons with Alex about 2 months ago. It has been fantastic. Everyone at the school is incredibly nice, and it really has a low-key small town community type atmosphere. My lesson is one of the best parts of my week and I look forward to it every time. Most of the students are children, but I'm not. If you think you are too old to start an instrument or to take music lessons, you are incorrect! It's never too late to strike up the band. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

They're really professional there. I got to take piano lessons while in high school, and although I didn't appreciate it then, it was a great experience. I later took guitar and piano lessons there as an adult, and I was happy with their teachers. The staff was always accommodating. When I have kids, I will definitely be taking them there. The teachers are great!

Online zoom call lessons have been working great. Patient teachers, service oriented front desk staff, charter school payment allowed. This place has been excellent for my 3 children. We took guitar, song writing, mandarin, piano, and tried out a music application type class for our youngest preschool age child.
