Mini Musicians
Early Childhood Music Programs
For over 15 years, Mini Musicians has partnered with schools, daycares, and community programs to provide high-quality early childhood music education to young children.
Our curriculum includes nearly 200 carefully selected songs designed specifically for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, supporting movement, listening skills, language development, and joyful musical participation.
The majority of the songs and rhymes used in our classes are original compositions written specifically for the Mini Musicians curriculum by the Founder/Owner, Clara D'Onofrio.
Inside a Mini Musicians Class
Each Mini Musicians class blends singing, movement, rhythm activities, and hands-on instruments, creating the perfect balance of structure and play.
All songs are sung live by our talented teachers in every class, creating an interactive musical experience rather than a passive “press play” activity.
Welcome Song
Each class begins with a soon-to-be familiar hello song that helps children transition into music time and feel part of the group.
Beat & Movement Activities
Children explore beat and rhythm through clapping, marching, bouncing, and playful movement songs designed for different age groups.
Instrument Exploration
Teachers bring instruments such as shaker eggs, rhythm sticks, sand blocks, a drum, and a triangle so children can experience beat and rhythm hands-on.
Seasonal Movement Songs
Songs often reflect the seasons and themes children love- twirling snow scarves like snowflakes in winter or flying with butterflies while going on a spring adventure.
Interactive Musical Play
Children enjoy activities with puppets, musical passing games, peek-a-boo scarves, and light turn-taking on instruments like the big drum.
Musical Skills & Structure
Children learn musical concepts such as beat and rhythm, tempo, and instrument “rest position,” creating the perfect balance of play and structure.
