These are unique days, as families work together to discover new routines and ways of relaxation. It’s a good thing that music is a way of reducing anxiety, increasing mental alertness, and promoting creativity! Chinook School of Music knows that music is more important than ever during a stressful time like the COVID-19 crisis and they are now offering virtual programming for your littlest music lovers, too.
Music Kids @ Home Encore
Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers will enjoy a weekly virtual class called Music Kids @ Home Encore. A monthly membership will get you a weekly class that you can watch as many times as you like. The class is live-streamed on Tuesdays at 10:30 am for kids ages 5 and under, but your whole family will enjoy getting together for these favourite online Music Kids activities. The fresh, modern approach to music education integrates scientific research supporting the positive role that music plays on brain development.
If you can’t make the class time for some reason, each week’s class will be viewable on YouTube for seven business days, so you can participate when it works for you! New units and themes will be introduced all year long and you’ll have access to Music Kids worksheets and other supplemental activities, plus, you’ll have priority access to all Music Kids’ programs!

Virtual Summer Day Camps
We know summer camps will be different this year, so join the worry-free way, with virtual summer day camps for kids ages 3 – 5 years. Your kids will love these Music Kids camps at home!

You can choose your favourite theme or enjoy all four weeks, building a strong musical foundation.
Tuition is $75 and this camp will take place via Zoom Webinars. Your Zoom camp link will be sent to you prior to your camp.

Music Kids in the Park
If the virtual option isn’t quite your thing, Chinook School of Music is also offering an in-person, Music in the Park program, with bolstered safety measures and a whole lot of fun! This outdoor Music Kids program gets everyone moving and grooving to the music. Join the circle and play instruments, learn rhythms and melodies, and make music under the sun. The innovative Music Kids team has been working to adapt the Music Kids in the Park program to meet and exceed the health and safety guidelines provided by the Alberta Chief Medical Officer. Families familiar with this program will see some changes, but what hasn’t changed is the commitment to deliver a fun and engaging experience for all! This program often sells out and is great for families with multiple kids. Find it here: www.chinookschoolofmusic.com.
